WHAT CLOPIDOGREL BGR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel BGR 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).
Clopidogrel BGR 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 Clopidogrel BGR 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.
-
You have experienced a severe type of chest pain known as ‘unstable
angina’ or ‘myocardial
infarction’ (heart attack). For the treatment of this condition
