Clocard Tablet 75 mg contains Clopidogrel Bisulphate, an antiplatelet medication used to reduce the risk of blood clots that can lead to serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It is commonly prescribed for patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), recent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or those who have undergone coronary stent placement.

Platelets are blood cells that help stop bleeding by forming clots. However, excessive platelet aggregation can cause harmful blood clots that block blood vessels, leading to heart attacks or strokes. Clopidogrel works by irreversibly inhibiting the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor on platelets. This prevents platelets from sticking together and forming clots, thereby improving blood flow through the arteries.

Clocard Tablet 75 mg is often used alone or in combination with low-dose aspirin as part of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), particularly after the placement of coronary stents or during the management of acute coronary syndromes. Regular use as prescribed helps lower the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events and improves long-term cardiovascular outcomes.

For maximum benefit, Clocard Tablet should be taken consistently at the same time each day. Patients should not stop taking the medication without consulting their healthcare provider, as discontinuation may increase the risk of clot formation and serious cardiovascular complications.
