Clopivas AP 150 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (150 mg): Aspirin acts by irreversibly inactivating enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX), which are involved in the production of substances known as prostaglandins and thromboxanes. These substances cause platelets in your blood to clump together, a process known as aggregation. By inhibiting their production, aspirin effectively reduces platelet aggregation.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This is classified as a prodrug, meaning it needs to be activated by certain enzymes in your body (predominantly CYP2C19) before it takes effect. After activation, clopidogrel forms a metabolite that prevents a substance called ADP from binding to its receptor found on platelets. This action helps inhibit platelet aggregation, reducing the likelihood of clot formation.
