WHAT ISCOVER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Iscover contains clopidogrel and belongs to a group of medicines
called antiplatelet medicinal
products. Platelets are very small structures in the blood which clump
together during blood clotting.
By preventing this clumping, antiplatelet medicinal products reduce
the chances of blood clots forming
(a process called thrombosis).
Iscover is taken by adults to prevent blood clots (thrombi) forming in
hardened blood vessels
(arteries), a process known as atherothrombosis, which can lead to
atherothrombotic events (such as
stroke, heart attack, or death).
You have been prescribed Iscover to help prevent blood clots and
reduce the risk of these severe
events because:
-
You have a condition of hardening of arteries (also known as
atherosclerosis), and
-
You have previously experienced a heart attack, stroke or have a
condition known as peripheral
arterial disease, or
-
You have experienced a severe type of chest pain known as ‘unstable
angina’ or ‘myocardial
infarction’ (heart attack). For the treatment of this condition your
doctor may have placed a stent
in the blocked or narrowed artery to restore e
