Benefits of Clopiwa AP Capsule

Prevention of heart attack and stroke
Clopiwa AP Capsule is a combination of two antiplatelet medicines or blood thinners. It prevents blood from clotting inside the veins and arteries. This helps the blood flow freely around your body thereby preventing a heart attack or stroke (or deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). Both these medicines together prevent the formation of blood clots and also prevent the existing ones from growing bigger in size. Take it regularly and make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel well.
Treatment of Acute coronary syndrome

This way the medicine provides a potent anti-clotting effect, maintaining blood flow in narrowed arteries, which is crucial for preventing heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular events in ACS patients.

Frequently asked questions

You may have been prescribed Clopiwa AP Capsule if you had a heart attack, were treated with stents in your coronary arteries, or had coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
Yes, Clopiwa AP Capsule is a type of blood thinner. It works by preventing platelets (type of blood cells) from sticking together and forming clots. This action of Clopiwa AP Capsule helps in preventing conditions like heart attack or stroke in people with heart disease, who have recently suffered a heart attack or severe heart-related chest pain (unstable angina).
Your doctor will suggest the exact duration for which you may have to take Clopiwa AP Capsule. The duration will be decided after considering various factors like the illness you are being treated for, type of stent inserted, any episodes of bleeding experienced by you during treatment, etc. Usually, Clopiwa AP Capsule is prescribed for a minimum duration of 1 year. However, it is advised to follow your doctor's advice precisely to get maximum benefit of Clopiwa AP Capsule. Do not stop the medication on your own, consult your doctor first. Sudden discontinuation may increase the chances of clot formation in the stent, heart attack and can even lead to death.
It is not advised to take alcohol while taking Clopiwa AP Capsule, as alcohol may increase your chance of stomach bleeding. As a result, you may vomit blood (which may be bright red blood or black/dark brown like coffee grounds) or you may have bloody or black tarry stools. Discuss with your doctor if you are not sure.
Clopiwa AP Capsule may cause serious or life-threatening bleeding. Moreover, you may bruise easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop even if you have a minor injury like a small cut while shaving. Get emergency medical help if you notice excessive or prolonged bleeding. You should inform your doctor if you notice black tarry stools or if there is blood in the urine. Be vigilant on any signs of stroke such as sudden numbness or weakness (one side or both sides of the body), difficulty walking, mental confusion, slurred speech, dizziness and any unexplained headache. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop any such signs of stroke as stroke is an uncommon side effect of Clopiwa AP Capsule and needs urgent medical attention as it can otherwise be fatal.
Your doctor will decide whether you need to stop taking Clopiwa AP Capsule before any surgery or treatment or not. Usually, if a surgery or treatment is planned beforehand, the doctor may stop Clopiwa AP Capsule a few days (usually 7 days) before the surgery or treatment owing to the increased risk of bleeding during the procedure. You should not stop taking Clopiwa AP Capsule on your own without discussing it with your doctor.
Clopiwa AP Capsule is not recommended for people who are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Do not take Clopiwa AP Capsule if you have or ever had severe liver disease, stomach ulcers, bleeding in the brain (stroke or a transient ischemic attack, also known as TIA), or if you have a bleeding disorder known as hemophilia (disease in which blood does not clot normally). Additionally, avoid taking Clopiwa AP Capsule if you are trying to get pregnant, already pregnant, or breastfeeding.
If you forget to take a dose of Clopiwa AP Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Avoid activities that may increase your chances of bleeding. Be extra careful while shaving or brushing your teeth to prevent bleeding. Also, you should avoid taking painkillers, but if you need to take one like ibuprofen for joint pain, headache, backache, etc. then consult your doctor first. This is because taking pain killers with Clopiwa AP Capsule may increase your chances of developing a stomach ulcer and bleeding. Refrain from taking excessive alcohol with Clopiwa AP Capsule as it can irritate your stomach and lead to a stomach ulcer as well.
