Product Description

 

Coplavix 75/75mg is a powerful combination medication used to prevent serious cardiovascular events. Each tablet contains two key antiplatelet agents: Clopidogrel 75mg and Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) 75mg. This unique formulation provides a dual-action approach to prevent the formation of blood clots.

Clopidogrel works by inhibiting platelets from sticking together and forming clots, while Aspirin provides an additional antiplatelet effect. Together, they offer enhanced protection against a range of conditions, including recent heart attack (myocardial infarction), recent stroke, and established peripheral arterial disease. This medication is a critical part of a long-term treatment plan for patients who have undergone procedures like angioplasty to maintain vascular patency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Q1: What is Coplavix used for? Coplavix is used to prevent blood clots in patients who have had a recent heart attack, a recent stroke, or have peripheral arterial disease. It is also used in patients who have undergone angioplasty with or without a stent.

Q2: How does the combination of Clopidogrel and Aspirin work? Both drugs are antiplatelet agents, but they work through different mechanisms to prevent platelets from clumping together. This dual inhibition provides a more powerful and effective anti-clotting effect than either drug alone.

Q3: What should I do if I miss a dose? If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Q4: What are the common side effects of Coplavix? The most common side effect is an increased risk of bleeding, which can range from easy bruising and nosebleeds to more serious internal bleeding. Other potential side effects include stomach upset, indigestion, or rash. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising.

Q5: Can I take other medications with Coplavix? You should inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Coplavix can interact with other drugs, especially NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), other blood thinners, and some antidepressants, increasing the risk of bleeding.
