Introduction About CLOPITAB 75MG TABLET
CLOPITAB
75MG TABLET contains Clopidogrel which belongs to the group of
medicines called Antiplatelets. CLOPITAB 75MG TABLET is used to manage
blood clots (thrombi) due to atherothrombosis which may lead to
atherothrombotic events such as stroke or heart attack and
atherosclerotic events (myocardial infraction) in patients with
atherosclerosis. It is also used to manage in-stent restenosis in
patients undergo percutaneous coronary Intervention (PCI).
Platelets
are very small structures in the blood which clump together during
blood clotting. By managing this clumping, antiplatelet medicinal
products reduce the chances of blood clots forming (a process called
thrombosis).
Atherothrombosis is an inflammatory process of the
arteries that affects the coronary (heart), cerebral (brain) and
peripheral circulation (blood circulation to arms, hands, legs and feet)
by aberrant thickening of the blood vessel wall and reducing the blood
flow to the tissue that triggers the occurrence of myocardial
infarction, stroke and peripheral arterial disease.
Along with this management, your doctor may advise regular blood tests to check your blood clotting time.
