It is primarily used to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in patients with a history of these conditions.

Active Ingredient & Action
CLOPIDOGREL (CLOPIDOGREL BISULFATE) is a prodrug that is metabolized in the liver to its active form, which then inhibits the P2Y12 receptor on platelets. This inhibition prevents the activation of platelets and the subsequent formation of blood clots. By reducing the formation of blood clots, M-CLOPIDOGREL helps to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with a history of these conditions.
Important Notes

Additionally, patients should not stop taking M-CLOPIDOGREL without consulting their doctor, as this can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
