Appras Tablet 10 mg contains Prasugrel Hydrochloride 10 mg, a potent antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots in patients at risk of serious cardiovascular events. It is commonly prescribed for adults undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including angioplasty and stent placement, to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or stent thrombosis.

Prasugrel works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, preventing platelets from clumping together and forming harmful arterial clots. By maintaining smooth blood flow in coronary arteries, Appras 10 mg helps protect heart health and supports recovery after cardiovascular procedures.

Mechanism of Action

Prasugrel belongs to the thienopyridine class of antiplatelet agents. Its mechanism of action includes:

• Irreversible inhibition of the P2Y12 ADP receptor on platelets

• Blocking ADP-mediated platelet activation and aggregation

• Preventing the formation of arterial thrombi, which can lead to heart attack or stroke

This targeted action ensures effective platelet inhibition, reducing thrombotic events without affecting the coagulation factors in the blood.

• Prevention of thrombotic cardiovascular events in adults undergoing PCI

• Reduction of risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

• Prevention of stent thrombosis after coronary stent placement

• Patients at high risk of arterial clot formation, as determined by a cardiologist

Benefits

• Potent Antiplatelet Effect: Strong platelet inhibition reduces cardiovascular complications

• Rapid Onset of Action: Effective platelet inhibition occurs soon after administration

• Long-Term Protection: Helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and stent-related thrombosis

• Convenient Oral Dosing: Tablets are easy to take once daily under supervision

• Clinically Proven: Demonstrated efficacy in reducing thrombotic events in PCI patients

• The typical adult dose is 10 mg once daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional
