Clopid ASP Tablet (75mg+75mg)
Clopid ASP Tablet combines Clopidogrel (75mg) and Aspirin (75mg) to help reduce the risk of harmful blood clots in patients with heart and vascular conditions.
Overview
Clopid ASP Tablet is a dual antiplatelet combination medication containing Clopidogrel and Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid). It is prescribed to prevent blood clots in adults who have experienced acute coronary syndrome, heart attacks, or unstable angina. Available on PakMeds, Clopid ASP helps lower the risk of future cardiovascular events.
Key Benefits of Clopid ASP
Helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in blood vessels.
Combines two antiplatelet agents for dual action protection.
Reduces the risk of recurrent heart attacks in high-risk patients.
Supports cardiovascular care following stent placement or coronary procedures.
Clopid ASP Ingredients and Usage
Clopid ASP contains Clopidogrel, a thienopyridine adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitor, and Aspirin, a cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitor. Both belong to the antiplatelet class of medications, which work together to stop platelets from clumping together in the blood.
This combination therapy is specifically indicated for adults with acute coronary syndrome, including unstable angina and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), as well as ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is also used in patients managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), such as cardiac stent placement.
How Does Clopid ASP Work?
Clopidogrel works by irreversibly modifying the platelet ADP receptor, which prevents ADP from binding and blocks the activation of the GPIIb/IIIa complex required for platelet aggregation. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, stopping the production of thromboxane A2, a key signal for platelet activation.
By targeting two distinct chemical pathways involved in blood clotting, Clopid ASP provides comprehensive antiplatelet action to keep blood flowing smoothly through narrowed arteries or arterial stents.
How to Use Clopid ASP
Take Clopid ASP Tablets orally as prescribed by your doctor. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, either with or without food. Taking it with meals may help reduce stomach upset.
It is important to take this medication consistently at the same time every day. Do not alter your dose or stop taking this medicine without consulting your cardiologist, as stopping antiplatelet therapy early increases the risk of blood clots.

Like all medications, Clopid ASP can cause side effects. Contact your doctor promptly if you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms.

Warnings
Clopid ASP increases the risk of major bleeding; seek immediate medical attention if you notice signs of serious internal bleeding such as black stools or coughing up blood.
Do not take this medicine if you have active pathological bleeding, such as a peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage.
Discontinue use and consult a physician immediately if you experience signs of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
Inform surgeons and dentists that you are taking Clopid ASP before any planned surgical or dental procedures.
Precautions and Who Should Avoid It
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or recent severe trauma.
Consult your healthcare provider before use if you have liver or kidney impairment.
This medication is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless explicitly recommended by a specialist.
Tell your doctor about any known allergies to Aspirin, NSAIDs, or Clopidogrel.
Drug and Food Interactions
Concomitant use with anticoagulants like warfarin or heparin increases the risk of severe bleeding.
Taking Clopid ASP with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen elevates gastrointestinal bleeding risks.
Proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole may reduce the antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel; consult your physician for suitable alternatives.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when combined with aspirin.
Clopid ASP Storage Conditions
Store Clopid ASP Tablets in the original pack as directed on the label, protected from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed. Always keep out of the reach and sight of children.
