Clotide Injection 10 ml

Clotide Injection 10 ml belongs to the group of medicines called 'antiplatelet agents' used to prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the chance of Myocardial infarction. Clotide Injection 10 ml is used in the treatment of Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in both patients who need to be managed medically and also people undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. ACS is defined as a group of serious cardiac conditions wherein the blood flow to the heart decreases due to plaque formation. Clotide Injection 10 ml is also used in the treatment of patients undergoing urgent PCI procedures and also in patients undergoing intracoronary stenting.

Clotide Injection 10 ml contains Eptifibatide, which belongs to the monoclonal anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antibodies class. It works by blocking the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor's activity, thereby preventing platelet aggregation. This causes inhibition of fibrinogen binding, reducing the chance of blood clot formation. Clotide Injection 10 ml reduces the risk of cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Clotide Injection 10 ml may cause certain side effects, such as bleeding, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, hypotension, vomiting, dizziness, decreased platelet count, and pain at the site of injection. 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. A trained healthcare professional will administer Clotide Injection 10 ml. So, do not self-administer. Your doctor will decide the dose of the medicine based on your health condition.

Clotide Injection 10 ml should be avoided if you are allergic to it. It is contraindicated in patients who have active internal bleeding, history of bleeding diathesis within 30 days, thrombocytopenia, severe uncontrolled hypertension, had recent major surgery or trauma, renal failure, using another glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, a history of cerebrovascular accident within the last two years, or recent gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding, intracranial neoplasm, aneurysm, as it can cause serious adverse effects. Clotide Injection 10 ml is known to cause bleeding problems. If you observe severe bleeding that cannot be controlled, it is advised to stop administering Clotide Injection 10 ml immediately. Hence, close monitoring is needed for any bleeding conditions. Talk to your doctor before receiving Clotide Injection 10 ml if you had a recent severe injury or surgery due to the risk of severe bleeding problems. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Clotide Injection 10 ml. Clotide Injection 10 ml is not recommended for children below 12 years of age as efficacy and safety have not been established.

• Before administration of Clotide Injection 10 ml, a blood test for CBC, serum creatinine, platelet count, prothrombin time, ACT, and APTT should be done to check for any hemostatic abnormalities.
• If heparin is given, it is always important to check the patient for any bleeding conditions.

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 form 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, leading to unstable angina (chest pain).

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

Acute coronary syndrome: Acute coronary syndrome is a group of serious cardiac conditions wherein the blood flow to the heart decreases. It is most often caused due to plaque rupture or clot formation in the heart's arteries. The symptoms may include heart attack-like chest pressure, chest pressure while resting or doing light activity, or sudden heart stoppage.
