Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
An athero-embolic disease is a condition in which blood vessels get blocked due to the formation of a clot inside it, or a clot from a different part of the body gets dislodged and blocks another vessel. This blockage leads to a decrease in blood supply to the part of the body in which that vessel is located (Ischaemia). Depending on the part of the body where this vessel is located, a person will suffer from different symptoms. If this vessel is in the heart, the patient will have a heart attack (Myocardial Infarction). In the brain, this will lead to a stroke.
The pharmacological component of Clopin is a drug called Clopidogrel. Clopidogrel is an Antiaggrecant. This means that it prevents platelets from joining together to form a clot. It does this by blocking a structure on the platelet called a P2Y12 receptor, which is required for aggregation. This, in turn, helps prevent myocardial infarctions (heart attack), strokes, etc....
