Clopilet A 75 Capsule

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Clopilet A 75 Capsule is a medication primarily composed of Clopidogrel and Aspirin, combining their respective benefits into a single formulation. Clopidogrel belongs to the antiplatelet class of drugs, while Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antiplatelet effects. This combination is often prescribed for its synergistic action in preventing blood clot formation, which is crucial in managing various cardiovascular conditions.

Clopidogrel works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, thus reducing the risk of clot formation in blood vessels. Aspirin, on the other hand, acts similarly and also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can further benefit individuals at risk of cardiovascular events.

Clopilet A 75 Capsule is typically indicated for patients who have undergone procedures like angioplasty or stent placement to prevent clotting around the implanted devices. It is also used in patients with a history of stroke, heart attack, or peripheral arterial disease to reduce the likelihood of recurrent cardiovascular events.

USES OF Clopilet A 75 Capsule

Clopilet A 75 Capsule is prescribed for the following conditions:

• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): To reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with known CAD.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): To prevent clotting and improve circulation in the legs and arms.
• Recent Heart Attack or Stroke: As part of secondary prevention measures.
• After Angioplasty or Stent Placement: To prevent clot formation around the stent or in the coronary arteries.

BENEFITS OF Clopilet A 75 Capsule

The benefits of Clopilet A 75 Capsule include:

• Prevention of Blood Clots: Reduces the risk of clot formation in blood vessels, which is crucial in preventing heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral arterial occlusion.
• Secondary Prevention: Helps in reducing the recurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with a history of heart attack or stroke.
• Improved Patient Outcomes: By maintaining blood flow and preventing blockages, it contributes to better overall cardiovascular health.
• Convenience of Combination Therapy: Combining Clopidogrel and Aspirin into a single capsule simplifies dosing and ensures consistent administration of both medications.

While generally well-tolerated, Clopilet A 75 Capsule can cause the following side effects:

• Gastrointestinal Effects: Common side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, and nausea, which are more often associated with Aspirin.
