1. Overview
This medicine is used to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It combines aspirin and clopidogrel to provide stronger protection for patients at high risk of cardiovascular events.
2. How It Works
Aspirin stops platelets from sticking together, reducing clot formation. Clopidogrel works on a different pathway to also prevent platelet clumping. Together, they help keep blood flowing smoothly through the arteries.
