FAQS

I recently had a myocardial episode. Why do I need a clopidogrel therapy?

A myocardial episode is a result of developing clots in your arteries. Clopidogrel works by an antiplatelet mechanism, which means that it stops the platelets from sticking together, thereby decreasing the possibility of forming a clot. Therefore, after one myocardial episode, you should be using clopidogrel to decrease the chances of another one.

Does this medication increase a risk of having a miscarriage?

Yes it does. Clopidogrel not only increases the risk of miscarriages but also may result in various birth defects and detrimental fetal outcomes. Therefore, it is not indicated in pregnancy.

If I breastfeed my child can I still use this medication ?

The correlation between clopidogrel and breastfeeding is still debatable, however it is best to avoid it. Use only if the benefits outweigh the risk.

I have to get my tooth extracted but I am taking this medication. What should I do?

Since clopidogrel greatly increases bleeding tendencies, you must inform your dentist prior to treatment.

What precautions should I take before starting this medication therapy if I suffer from a kidney disease?

Clopidogrel dosage needs to be strictly monitored by the physician if you suffer from kidney diseases. Consult your physician before starting the medication.
