About Clodrel Tablet

Clodrel Tablet consists of the anti-platelet drug (blood thinner) primarily taken for the prevention of heart attack or stroke in people at high risk of heart disease. A heart attack generally refers to the blocked flow of blood to the heart because of the blockage of arteries. A heart blockage is most often a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Clodrel Tablet belongs to a class of medications called a blood thinner or an antiplatelet medication. Clodrel Tablet plays a vital role in preventing the formation of harmful blood clots (plaque) in your veins. It makes your blood flow easy through your veins making it less likely to form a serious blood clot. So, an intake of Clodrel Tablet helps prevent blood clots if you have an increased risk of having severe chest pain (unstable angina or heart attack), stroke, peripheral arterial disease (heart problem due to narrowed blood vessels).

The recommended daily dose of Clodrel Tablet is 75 mg once daily orally, with or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nosebleeds, heavier periods, bleeding gums, easy bruising, diarrhoea, stomach pain, indigestion, or heartburn. If the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Stopping a sudden intake of Clodrel Tablet may worsen your condition and increase your risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. Clodrel Tablet should be taken cautiously in pregnant or breastfeeding women. It should be not given to people with a bleeding disorder (haemophilia), active pathological bleeding, like a peptic ulcer, or bleeding in the brain (intracranial haemorrhage). Do not take Clodrel Tablet with aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief while you are using Clodrel Tablet . It may increase the chance of having stomach ulcers or severe gastric bleeding.

Disease/Condition Glossary

A blood clot can occur in any part of the body that can lead to a heart attack, stroke, and damage to organs (even coma or death). Blood clots can reach your arteries or veins in the organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs, and limbs. Conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and obesity/overweight can trigger excessive blood clotting in the brain and heart. On the other hand, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in veins), peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries due to fat deposit or blood clot), and atherosclerosis (fat build upon the walls of the arteries) can cause a blood clot in your limbs.
