CLOPIGOLD A 150 Mg

Clopidogrel 75 mg + Aspirin 150 mg CAPS 

CLOPIGOLD A 150 is a combination medication used to prevent cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in individuals with cardiovascular disease or those at high risk. It contains Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent, and Aspirin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antiplatelet properties. This article provides a thorough overview of CLOPIGOLD A 150, covering its uses, dosage, side effects, composition, and more, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of this medication.

Composition

CLOPIGOLD A 150 contains:

• Clopidogrel: 75 mg
• Aspirin: 150 mg

Mechanism of Action

Clopidogrel works by inhibiting the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor on platelet cell membranes. This inhibition prevents platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of clot formation. It is particularly effective in preventing arterial thrombosis.

Aspirin inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane. By inhibiting COX-1, Aspirin reduces the production of thromboxane A2, a potent promoter of platelet aggregation. This dual action helps in the prevention of blood clots.

Uses

CLOPIGOLD A 150 is prescribed for:

• Prevention of heart attacks in individuals with a history of myocardial infarction
• Prevention of strokes in individuals with a history of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
• Reduction of cardiovascular events in individuals with peripheral arterial disease
• Prophylaxis for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

Dosage

The dosage of CLOPIGOLD A 150 should be individualized based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. Typically, the recommended dose is:

• Clopidogrel: 75 mg once daily
• Aspirin: 150 mg once daily

How to Take CLOPIGOLD A 150

• Take the medication orally with or without food.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break it.

• Increased bleeding tendency (bruising, nosebleeds)
• Headache
• Dizziness

Serious but rare side effects may include:

Precautions and Warnings

• Bleeding Risk: CLOPIGOLD A 150 increases the risk of bleeding. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding, especially gastrointestinal and intracranial.
• Surgery: Inform your healthcare provider if you are scheduled for surgery, as CLOPIGOLD A 150 may need to be discontinued prior to the procedure.
• Hypersensitivity: Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to Clopidogrel, Aspirin, or any component of the formulation.
• Gastrointestinal Conditions: Use with caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Interactions

CLOPIGOLD A 150 can interact with several medications, potentially altering their effects. Some notable interactions include:

• Anticoagulants: Increased risk of bleeding when used with warfarin, heparin, or other anticoagulants.
• NSAIDs: Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when used with other NSAIDs.
• Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): May reduce the effectiveness of Clopidogrel.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring is crucial to ensure the safe and effective use of CLOPIGOLD A 150:

• Blood Counts: Periodic assessment of complete blood counts to monitor for bleeding complications.
• Liver Function Tests: Regular monitoring of liver enzymes to detect any hepatotoxicity.
• Renal Function: Periodic assessment of kidney function is recommended, especially in patients with pre-existing renal impairment.

Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations

• Diet: Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit the intake of high-fat and high-sodium foods.
• Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity to maintain cardiovascular health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
• Smoking Cessation: Avoid smoking, as it can exacerbate cardiovascular conditions and reduce the effectiveness of CLOPIGOLD A 150.
• Alcohol Consumption: Limit alcohol intake, as excessive alcohol can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
