Benefits of Clopid-A Capsule SR
- In Treatment of Acute coronary syndrome: Clopid-A helps reduce clot formation and prevents platelets from sticking together to form clots. This way the medicine provides a potent anti-clotting effect, maintaining blood flow in narrowed arteries, which is crucial for preventing heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular events in ACS patients.
- In Prevention of heart attack and stroke: Clopid-A is a combination of two antiplatelet medicines or blood thinners. It prevents blood from clotting inside the veins and arteries. This helps the blood flow freely around your body thereby preventing a heart attack or stroke (or deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). Both these medicines together prevent the formation of blood clots and also prevent the existing ones from growing bigger in size. Take it regularly and make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel well.
