Product Details

Progrel 75mg Tablets contain clopidogrel, a powerful antiplatelet agent that helps prevent blood clots. This medication is particularly effective for patients at risk of atherothrombotic events, including those recovering from a heart attack or stroke. The active ingredient in 75mg Tablets blocks platelet aggregation, ensuring smoother blood flow and reducing the risk of clot formation. It is metabolized in the body to produce an active form that irreversibly inhibits the function of platelets, lasting for their full lifespan.

Purposes

Progrel 75mg Tablets are used for the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events, such as heart attacks or strokes. It is also prescribed in combination with aspirin for patients with atrial fibrillation who are at risk of vascular events but are not suitable for treatment with vitamin K antagonists. The medication prevents clot formation, thus reducing the likelihood of further complications.

Warnings

When taking Progrel 75mg Tablets, patients must be monitored for signs of bleeding, particularly in the initial weeks of treatment. This medication is not recommended within the first seven days of a stroke and should be discontinued if acquired hemophilia is diagnosed. Caution should also be exercised in patients with moderate liver disease, as there is limited experience in this population.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of 75mg Tablets may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, gastrointestinal bleeding, and rash. Rarely, it may lead to serious conditions such as neutropenia, syncope, or gastrointestinal ulcers. If any severe adverse effects occur, patients should immediately consult their healthcare provider.

Cautions

Patients using 75mg Tablets should be cautious if they have a history of peptic ulcers or bleeding disorders. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor for any hidden bleeding. Those with severe liver disease or hypersensitivity to clopidogrel should avoid this medication. Always consult with your doctor before starting or stopping this treatment to ensure it is safe for your specific condition.
