Description
Deplatt 150 mg is a popular drug that prevents the formation of blood clots in the heart and blood vessels by thinning the blood. The blood clots may be formed after certain procedures, such as a cardiac stent, coronary artery bypass graft-CABG, and balloon angioplasty. The medicine prevents heart attack or stroke in this way. This medicine is also prescribed for treating chest pain or angina.
Clopidogrel (active ingredient) has anti-platelet activity. Certain types of cells are found in blood called blood platelets. These blood platelets are responsible for forming blood clots. Clopidogrel prevents bad clots’ formation and hence maintains smooth blood flow. It is one of the most recommended preventive medicines for heart and related disorders. Clopidogrel is given in myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.
