WHAT DUOPLAVIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DuoPlavin contains clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 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 in some
types of blood vessels (called
arteries), antiplatelet medicinal products reduce the chances of blood
clots forming (a process called
atherothrombosis).
DuoPlavin is taken by adults to prevent blood clots forming in
hardened arteries which can lead to
atherothrombotic events (such as stroke, heart attack, or death).
You have been prescribed DuoPlavin in place of the two separate
medicines, clopidogrel and ASA, to
help prevent blood clots because you have experienced a severe type of
chest pain known as ‘unstable
angina’ or heart attack (myocardial infarction). For the treatment
of this condition your doctor may
have placed a stent in the blocked or narrowed artery to restore
effective blood flow.
