Clogrel-A Capsule SR

The Clogrel-A Capsule SR is a tandem of Aspirin/Acetylsalicylic acid and Clopidogrel and falls under the domain of antiplatelet medicinal products. Their primary function is to inhibit the formation of blood clots.

The role of Aspirin is to thwart the cyclooxygenase function, thereby reducing the generation of thromboxane A2, which is responsible for the accumulation of platelets.

In conjunction, clopidogrel, a member of the thienopyridine family, prevents platelet activation by targeting adenosine receptors. Working in unison, they ensure a smooth flow of blood while warding off clot formation.

Abide by the doctor's instructions concerning the recommended dosage and timeframe. The medication can be consumed with or without food, but it is advantageous to maintain a fixed daily time for the best outcome.

Utilizing a combination of Aspirin and Clopidogrel heightens the likelihood of bleeding. Watch out for bleeding signs, including easy bruising, ceaseless bleeding, or irregular gum bleeding. This risk is further intensified in individuals with bleeding disorders or on multiple medications that enhance the bleeding potential. Disclose to health professionals all currently taken medications, over-the-counter drugs, and dietary supplements to ward off potential interactions.

The typical side effects might include diarrhea, nausea, constipation, flatulence, indigestion, nosebleeds, bruising, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Continuous monitoring of these side effects is vital, and any worries should be communicated immediately to your healthcare provider.

If a dosage is missed, take it as soon as possible, but if it’s nearing your next dosage time, disregard the missed one and continue with your normal pattern. Avoid doubling up the dosages. Follow your physician’s instructions for effectively dealing with missed doses. Unwavering compliance to the advised dosages substantially impacts the success of antiplatelet therapy.
