Clopidogrel 75mg Tablets, 28 Tablets
If you’re looking for an antiplatelet medicine that can help prevent blood clots and atherothrombosis, Clopidogrel 75mg Tablets are a great choice. Clopidogrel belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet medicinal products, and it works by inhibiting the binding of platelets to collagen. This helps to prevent blood clots from forming in hardened blood vessels, which can lead to serious atherothrombotic events like stroke, heart attack, or even death. So if you’re looking for a medicine that can help keep you safe from these potentially deadly complications, Clopidogrel 75mg Tablets are a great option.
You have been prescribed Clopidogrel to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of these severe events because:
- You have a condition of hardening of arteries (also known as atherosclerosis), and
- You have previously experienced a heart attack, stroke or have a condition known as peripheral arterial disease, or
- You have experienced a severe type of chest pain known as ‘unstable angina’ or ‘myocardial infarction’ (heart attack). For the treatment of this condition your doctor may have placed a stent in the blocked or narrowed artery to restore effective blood flow. You may also be given acetylsalicylic acid (a substance present in many medicines used to relieve pain and lower fever as well as to prevent blood clotting) by your doctor.
- You have experienced symptoms of a stroke which go away within a short period of time (also known as transient ischemic attack) or an ischemic stroke mild in severity. You may also be given acetylsalicylic acid by your doctor starting within the first 24 hours.
- You have an irregular heartbeat, a condition called ‘atrial fibrillation’, and you cannot take medicines known as ‘oral anticoagulants’ (vitamin K antagonists) which prevent new clots from forming and prevent existing clots from growing. You should have been told that ‘oral anticoagulants’ are more effective than acetylsalicylic acid or the combined use of clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid for this condition. Your doctor should have prescribed clopidogrel plus acetylsalicylic acid if you cannot take ‘oral anticoagulants’ and you do not have a risk of major bleeding.

Product Details
Product Information of Clopidogrel Tablets 75mg
- If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to clopidogrel or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you have a medical condition that is currently causing bleeding such as a stomach ulcer or bleeding within the brain;

If you think any of these apply to you, or if you are in any doubt at all, consult your doctor before taking Clopidogrel.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Clopidogrel:
- if you have a risk of bleeding such as
- a medical condition that puts you at risk of internal bleeding (such as a stomach ulcer).
- a blood disorder that makes you prone to internal bleeding (bleeding inside any tissues, organs or joints of your body).
- a recent serious injury.
- a recent surgery (including dental).
- a planned surgery (including dental) in the next seven days.
- if you have had a clot in an artery of your brain (ischemic stroke) which occurred within the last seven days.
- if you have kidney or liver disease.
- if you have had an allergy or reaction to any medicine used to treat your disease.

- If you cut or injure yourself, it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. This is linked to the way your medicine works as it prevents the ability of blood clots to form.
