Clopidyn 75 Tablet is used for the prevention of heart attack or stroke in people at high risk of heart disease. A heart attack generally refers to the blocked flow of blood to the heart because of the blockage of arteries. A heart blockage is most often a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Clopidyn 75 Tablet belongs to a class of medications called a blood thinner or an antiplatelet medication. Clopidyn 75 Tablet plays a vital role in preventing the formation of harmful blood clots (plaque) in your veins. It makes your blood flow easily through your veins, making it less likely to form a serious blood clot.

• Include a diet enriched in fats like fish oils, polyunsaturated oils, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for heart health.
• Quit smoking and avoid excessive intake of alcohol.

• As Clopidyn 75 Tablet tends to increase bleeding, try to avoid injuries, keep away from sharp objects, and inform your doctor if you have peptic ulcers or injuries.

A blood clot can occur in any part of the body and can lead to a heart attack, stroke, and damage to organs (even coma or death). Blood clots can reach your arteries or veins in organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs, and limbs. Conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and obesity/overweight can trigger excessive blood clotting in the brain and heart. On the other hand, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in veins), peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries due to fat deposit or blood clot), and atherosclerosis (fat built upon the walls of the arteries) can cause a blood clot in your limbs.
