It contains clopidogrel as an active ingredient. Clopilet tablet, Deplatt tablet, Clopivas tablet, Clavix tablet, Clopitab 75 tablet, and Preva tablet are some other tablets with clopidogrel as an active component.
Clopicard inhibits the activity of an enzyme responsible for blood clotting. Along with the Clopicard, a slight modification in lifestyle, including a healthy diet, avoiding smoke and alcohol, weight loss, etc., will help manage the heart condition. Take Clopicard as advised by your doctor.

It is crucial to complete the entire course of the medicine and avoid stopping it halfway without consulting your physician, as sudden discontinuation can increase your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
