WHAT CLOPIDOGREL ACINO PHARMA GMBH IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel Acino Pharma GmbH contains the active ingredient
Clopidogrel which 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 Pharma GmbH is taken 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 Pharma GmbH 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)
