Clopidomed-A is a fixed-dose combination of Clopidogrel and Aspirin, two antiplatelet agents used to reduce the formation of harmful blood clots. This medication plays a vital role in managing and preventing complications in patients with heart disease, especially those recovering from heart attacks or undergoing angioplasty or stenting.

Uses:

  • Prevention of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events
  • Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
  • Post-myocardial infarction (MI) care
  • After coronary angioplasty or stent placement
  • Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke or TIA

Key Benefits:

  • Prevents heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients
  • Ensures better protection after angioplasty or stent placement
  • Combines two mechanisms to stop platelets from clumping together
  • Minimizes chances of clot formation without significant side effects when monitored properly

How It Works

Clopidogrel blocks the P2Y12 component of ADP receptors on platelets, preventing platelet activation.Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), which reduces the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes platelet aggregation. Together, they provide a synergistic effect in preventing blood clots.
