Plagerine-A 150 Capsule is taken orally.

Plagerine-A 150 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (150 mg): This ingredient inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that stimulates platelet aggregation, or the clumping together of platelets in the blood. By inhibiting this enzyme, aspirin helps to reduce the risk of blood clot formation.
• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This ingredient is a prodrug, which means it is inactive until it is transformed by the liver enzyme CYP2C19. Its active metabolite binds to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing the activation of this receptor by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a substance that promotes platelet aggregation. By inhibiting this process, clopidogrel helps to reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

• Store Plagerine-A 150 Capsule at room temperature.
• Keep it in a dry place, safe from light and moisture.
• Always ensure the medication is kept out of reach of children.
• Remember to use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're prescribed Plagerine-A 150 Capsule for heart-related conditions, consider adopting a heart-healthy diet. This means limiting your intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol while increasing your intake of fibre-rich foods.
• Regular physical activity can help manage heart conditions. Try for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most days of the week. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
