Overview
Ranbaxy Ceruvin 75mg Tablet contains clopidogrel 75mg, an antiplatelet medicine used to prevent blood clots from forming in patients at risk of atherothrombotic events such as heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease. It is often given together with aspirin after a heart attack, stroke, or after a stent is placed in a blocked artery.
Clopidogrel works by irreversibly blocking a receptor (P2Y12) on the surface of platelets that is normally activated by ADP, a substance that triggers platelets to clump together. By blocking this receptor for the life of the platelet, clopidogrel reduces the platelets’ ability to stick together and form a clot.
How it Works
Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is converted in the liver to an active metabolite, which irreversibly binds to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets. This prevents ADP from activating the platelet’s fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb/IIIa), stopping platelets from binding to one another and forming the platelet plug that initiates a clot.
Directions for Use
Take Ranbaxy Ceruvin 75mg Tablet once daily, with or without food, at about the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine without first speaking to your doctor, especially if you have a coronary stent, as stopping early can significantly increase the risk of a blood clot forming in the stent.
Dosage
The usual dose of Ranbaxy Ceruvin 75mg Tablet is 75mg once daily, sometimes preceded by a higher loading dose in hospital settings such as after acute coronary syndrome or stent placement. Your doctor will determine the dose, the duration of treatment, and whether it should be combined with aspirin based on your specific condition.
