WHAT CLOPIDOGREL ACINO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel Acino contains clopidogrel and belongs to a group of
medicines called antiplatelet
medicinal products. Platelets (so-called thrombocytes) are very small
structures, 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 Acino 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 Acino 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 (disturbed blood flow in arms or legs
caused by vascular
occlusions) or
-
You have experienced a severe type of
