Uses of Aspirin + Clopidogrel

  • Aspirin + Clopidogrel is a medicine that helps prevent blood clots. It is used for people who have had heart problems like a heart attack, stroke, or chest pain.
  • It also helps people who had certain heart procedures, like getting a stent, to avoid more heart problems in the future. This medicine makes it less likely for blood clots to form and cause trouble again.

Side effects of Aspirin + Clopidogrel

The side effects of Aspirin + Clopidogrel are:

  • Nausea 
  • Diarrhoea
  • Headache 
  • Abdominal pain
  • Indigestion
  • Weakness

How Aspirin + Clopidogrel works

  • Aspirin + Clopidogrel works together to prevent blood clots by targeting different aspects of the clotting process.
  • Aspirin inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which reduces the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes platelet clumping. 
  • Clopidogrel, on the other hand, prevents platelet activation and aggregation by inhibiting the ADP receptor on platelets. This dual action helps to significantly reduce the risk of blood clots and subsequent cardiovascular events.
