Product Overview
About Clopidogrel / Acetylsalicylic acid Viatris (previously Clopidogrel / Acetylsalicylic acid Mylan)
The medicine is available as tablets containing 75 mg clopidogrel, either with 75 mg or 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid and can only be obtained with a prescription.
What it is used for
Both active substances in the medicine, clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid, are antiplatelet medicines. This means that they help to prevent components in the blood called platelets from sticking together and forming clots, thus helping to prevent another heart attack.
How it is used
The medicine is taken as one tablet once a day instead of the clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid tablets that the patient has already been taking separately.
How it works
Clopidogrel blocks a substance called ADP from attaching to a receptor (target) on the surface of platelets. This stops the platelets becoming ‘sticky’, reducing the risk of a blood clot forming. Acetylsalicylic acid blocks an enzyme called prostaglandin cyclo-oxygenase. This reduces the production of a substance called thromboxane, which normally helps clots to form by attaching platelets together. The combination of the two active substances reduces the risk of blood clots forming more than either medicine alone.
Active substance: Both clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid are antiplatelet medicines.
