1. WHAT CLOPIDOGREL TEVA PHARMA B.V. IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel Teva Pharma B.V contains clopidogrel and belongs to a
group of medicines called
“platelet aggregation inhibitors.” It works by stopping certain
particles in your blood (“platelets”)
from sticking together to form blood clots which can block blood flow
to important parts of your body
including your heart and your brain.
If you suffer from hardening of the arteries (“atherosclerosis”)
there is an increased risk of a blood clot
forming in your blood vessels. In adults Clopidogrel Teva Pharma B.V.
reduces the risk of blood clots
forming which in turn reduces the risk of serious conditions such as
heart attack and stroke from
occurring.
You have been prescribed Clopidogrel Teva Pharma B.V. because:
•
You have hardening of the arteries and have recently suffered from a
heart attack, a stroke or
have a condition known as “peripheral arterial disease” (diseases
of the blood vessels except
those in the brain and heart).
•
You have
