FAQ's on Prax 10 Tablet 10s

Is Prax a blood thinner?

Yes, Prax is a type of blood thinner. It works by preventing platelets (type of blood cells) from sticking together and forming clots. This action of Prax helps in preventing conditions like heart attack or stroke in people with heart disease, who have recently suffered a heart attack or severe heart-related chest pain (unstable angina).

Do I need to stop Prax before surgery?

Your doctor will decide whether you need to stop taking Prax before any surgery or treatment or not. Usually, if a surgery or treatment is planned beforehand, the doctor may stop Prax a few days (usually 7 days) before the surgery or treatment owing to the increased risk of bleeding during the procedure. You should not stop taking Prax on your own without discussing it with your doctor.

What is the most important information I need to know about Prax?

Prax may cause serious or life-threatening bleeding. Moreover, you may bruise easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop even if you have a minor injury such as a small cut while shaving. Get emergency medical help if you notice excessive or prolonged bleeding. You should inform your doctor if you notice black tarry stools or if there is blood in the urine. Be vigilant on any signs of stroke such as sudden numbness or weakness (one side or both sides of the body), difficulty walking, mental confusion, slurred speech, dizziness and any unexplained headache. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop any such signs of stroke as stroke is an uncommon side effect of Prax and needs urgent medical attention as it can otherwise be fatal.

Can you drink alcohol while taking Prax?

It is not advised to take alcohol while taking Prax, as alcohol may increase your chance of stomach bleeding. As a result, you may vomit blood (which may be bright red blood or black/dark brown like coffee grounds) or you may have bloody or black tarry stools. Discuss with your doctor if you are not sure.

What if I forget to take a dose of Prax?

If you have missed a dose of Prax, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

What should I avoid while taking Prax?

Avoid activities that may increase your chances of bleeding. Be extra careful while shaving or brushing your teeth to prevent bleeding. You should avoid taking painkillers, but if you need to take one like ibuprofen for joint pain, headache, backache etc, then consult your doctor first. This is because taking pain killers with Prax may increase your chances of developing a stomach ulcer and bleeding. Refrain from taking excessive alcohol with Prax as it can irritate your stomach and lead to a stomach ulcer as well.

How long do I need to take Prax after stent insertion?

The exact duration of taking Prax will be decided by your doctor after considering various factors like the illness you are being treated for, type of stent inserted, any episodes of bleeding experienced by you during treatment etc. Usually, it is prescribed for a minimum duration of 1 year. However, follow your doctors advice precisely to get maximum benefit of Prax. Discuss with your doctor before stopping the medication, as sudden discontinuation may increase the chances of clot formation in the stent, heart attack, and can even lead to death.

Can you take aspirin with Prax?

Prax is usually prescribed along with aspirin in to prevent serious or life-threatening problems associated with heart or blood vessels (like heart attack, stroke, clot formation in a stent). This combination of medicine is given to patients who have recently had a heart attack and underwent angioplasty (stent placement in blocked blood vessels of the heart)had a heart attack, stroke, or had angioplasty to remove the blockage in arteries which supply the heart. Please consult your doctor before taking any medicine if you are taking Prax and follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit.
