Overview
Stada Clopidogrel 75mg (Clopistad) Tablet contains clopidogrel 75mg, an antiplatelet medicine used to prevent blood clots in patients with a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease, and in patients who have had a coronary artery stent placed. It is often used together with, or in place of, aspirin depending on your doctor’s assessment.
Clopidogrel works by blocking the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing them from being activated by ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This reduces platelet clumping and the formation of blood clots that can block arteries and lead to a heart attack or stroke.
How it Works
Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is converted in the liver to an active metabolite, which irreversibly binds to the P2Y12 ADP receptor on the platelet surface. This blocks ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex, reducing platelet aggregation for the lifespan of the affected platelets (about 7-10 days).
Directions for Use
Take Stada Clopidogrel 75mg (Clopistad) Tablet once daily, with or without food, at about the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Continue taking this medicine for the full duration prescribed, even if you feel well, as stopping early can increase the risk of clot formation, particularly if you have a coronary stent.
Dosage
The usual dose of Stada Clopidogrel 75mg (Clopistad) Tablet is one tablet (75mg) once daily, although your doctor may prescribe a higher loading dose initially in certain situations, such as after stent placement. Always take exactly as prescribed and do not change your dose without medical advice.
