Clotide 20 MG Injection 10 ML contains eptifibatide (20 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Platelet Aggregation Inhibition: Eptifibatide prevents platelets from sticking together by blocking specific receptors called glycoprotein IIb/IIIa on the platelet surface.

• Fibrinogen Binding Prevention: It specifically inhibits the binding of fibrinogen (a blood clotting protein) to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors, which is crucial for forming blood clots.

• Blood Clot Formation Reduction: By interfering with platelet aggregation, eptifibatide reduces the formation of blood clots in the coronary arteries, which helps maintain proper blood flow to the heart.

• Coronary Blood Flow Improvement: This medicine enhances blood circulation to the heart muscle by preventing blockages caused by clots, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks.
