CompositionCLODAPIN A 75 MG TABLET 10 is a medicine used to prevent harmful blood clots in adults at high risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events. It is commonly prescribed after heart procedures, in people with a history of heart attack or stroke, and in those with coronary or peripheral artery disease.
It is a combination medicine that contains clopidogrel and aspirin, two antiplatelet agents that help prevent the blood from forming clots that can block arteries. It is usually taken at the same time each day, with food to reduce stomach upset. Continue taking it as prescribed even if you feel well, as it works by preventing future events rather than treating immediate symptoms.
Heart-healthy lifestyle changes support this medicine. These include eating a balanced diet low in saturated fat and salt, regular exercise (as advised by your doctor), maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol intake. Managing other heart risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol is also important.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, kidney or liver problems, or are taking other medicines (especially other blood thinners or anti-inflammatory painkillers). Inform your doctor or dentist that you are taking this medicine before any surgery or dental procedure. Watch for unusual bruising or bleeding and inform your doctor straight away if it occurs.
