Description
Co-Plavix 75mg Tablet (1 box = 1 strip)(1 strip = 10 tablets)
Co-Plavix 75mg is a combination of two antiplatelet agents, Clopidogrel and Aspirin, used to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious cardiovascular events. This combination therapy is typically prescribed for patients with heart disease or a history of recent stroke or vascular conditions.
Active Ingredients: Clopidogrel (75mg) and Aspirin
Brand: Sanofi-Aventis Pakistan Ltd.
Key Features
- Dual Antiplatelet Therapy: Offers enhanced prevention of blood clots by combining two effective agents.
- Prevents Recurrence of Heart Attacks and Strokes: Ideal for high-risk patients.
- Proven Clinical Efficacy: Backed by extensive studies showing superior protection compared to single-agent therapy.
Active Ingredients
- Clopidogrel (75mg): Inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the P2Y12 receptor on platelets.
- Aspirin (Low Dose): Prevents blood clots by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, reducing the production of substances that cause platelets to clump.
Indications & Uses
- Prevention of Heart Attacks: For patients with a history of myocardial infarction, angina, or other coronary artery diseases.
- Stroke Prevention: Reduces the risk of stroke recurrence in patients with previous ischemic strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
- Vascular Disease: Helps prevent blood clots in patients with peripheral artery disease or other circulatory issues.
How It Works
Co-Plavix works by using two mechanisms to prevent platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel inhibits ADP-mediated platelet aggregation, while Aspirin blocks the production of thromboxane, which is responsible for promoting clot formation. This dual mechanism provides more robust protection against blood clots in the arteries.
