CLOPINOX-A 150

Description

CLOPINOX-A 150 Tablet provides dual antiplatelet therapy for high-risk individuals to reduce the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, or other vascular events.

Dosage & Administration

• Usual adult dose: 1 tablet daily (clopidogrel 75 mg + aspirin 150 mg), taken at the same time each day, preferably after food to minimize stomach irritation and improve tolerability.

• Administration tips: Swallow whole with water; do not chew, split, or crush.

• Stick to the prescribed schedule; do not stop without medical advice—even short interruption can increase clotting risk.

Uses / Indications

• Reduces risk in patients with:

  • Recent heart attack or stroke

  • Coronary artery stenting or bypass (post-PCI)

  • Peripheral arterial disease

  • Acute or stable angina, or other clot-prone cardiovascular conditions.

• The higher aspirin dose is sometimes preferred in early or higher-risk periods, based on clinical judgment.

Safety & Side Effects

• Common: Stomach upset, acidity, easy bruising, nosebleeds, diarrhea, indigestion, headache.

• Serious/rare: Black stools, blood in vomit/urine, severe or persistent bleeding, allergic reaction. Promptly inform the doctor if these occur.

• Precaution: Avoid in peptic ulcer disease, active bleeding, severe kidney/liver disease, or allergy to aspirin/clopidogrel.

• May interact with other anticoagulants, painkillers, and some psychiatric/acid-suppressing medications.

Special Advice

• Use caution with sharp objects or activities with trauma risk; inform all healthcare providers about bone surgery/dentistry for possible temporary discontinuation.

• Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, smoking cessation) support medication benefits.

• Not advised in pregnancy/breastfeeding without explicit medical approval.

Note:
CLOPINOX-A 150 is for prescription-only, long-term prevention. Regular follow-up and monitoring for bleeding or other side effects are important for ongoing safety.
