About Canreal Injection

Canreal Injection belongs to the group of medicines called 'antiplatelet agents' used to prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the chance of Myocardial infarction. Canreal Injection is used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure to reduce the chance of blood clot formation.

Canreal Injection contains Cangrelor, which works by inhibiting the clumping of platelets, thereby reducing the chance of blood clot formation. This results in lower cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction (heart attack), repeat coronary revascularization, and stent thrombosis (ST).

Canreal Injection will be administered by your doctor. So, do not self-administer. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor based on your health condition. Canreal Injection may cause certain side effects such as nose bleeds, skin rash, bleeding in the bowels, blood in urine, low haemoglobin, indigestion and bruising. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Canreal Injection should not be used if you ever had a brain stroke, bleeding in the brain or transient ischemic attack (stroke). Talk to your doctor before receiving Canreal Injection, have/had a recent severe injury or surgery due to risk of severe bleeding problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before receiving this medicine. Canreal Injection is not recommended for children as efficacy and safety have not been established.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood clot: Platelets are small cell particles that circulate in the blood. When the blood vessel is damaged or cut, the platelets clump together and lead to the formation of a clot. Thus it prevents bleeding. The formation of clots in arteries can cut off the blood supply, leading to heart attack, stroke or death. Clot formation in the arteries that supply blood to the heart may cause reduced blood flow which could lead to unstable angina (chest pain).

Myocardial infarction: Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack or stroke, could occur due to the lack of blood and oxygen supply in the heart. Symptoms include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, weakness, trouble breathing, lightheadedness and nausea.
