Other General Warnings

• You experience any unusual bleeding.

• You have any known medical conditions such as kidney or liver diseases, ulcers in the stomach or intestine, blood disorders, etc.
• You experience any kind of allergic reactions after taking this medicine.

• Take this medicine as directed by the doctor.
• This medicine should be taken orally with or without food.
• Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water.

• Store in a cool and dry place away from direct heat or moisture.
• Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

• Deplatt A 75 Tablet blocks two separate platelet pathways, giving stronger protection than a single antiplatelet.
• Never stop this medicine on your own; stopping early after a stent can cause it to clot suddenly.
• It is prescribed for a defined period, usually six to twelve months after a stent, not indefinitely.
• Take it with or just after food, at the same time each day.
• Use a soft toothbrush and an electric shaver, and take care with knives and tools.
• Seek urgent help for black or tarry stools, blood in vomit or urine, or a severe unexplained headache.
• Get checked after any fall or blow to the head, even if you feel completely well.
• Ask your doctor for pantoprazole rather than omeprazole if you need an acid-reducing medicine.
• Avoid ibuprofen and similar painkillers; paracetamol is usually safer.
• Avoid ginkgo, high-dose garlic, ginger and fish oil supplements without medical advice.
• Tell every dentist and surgeon what you take, well before any procedure.
• Carry a card stating that you take dual antiplatelet therapy, in case of an accident.

Interactions with other drugs

Interactions with food items

• Take Deplatt A 75 Tablet with or just after food and a full glass of water, which reduces the indigestion aspirin commonly causes.
• Grapefruit juice is best avoided, as it has been shown to interfere with the conversion of clopidogrel into its active form.
• Limit or avoid alcohol. It irritates the stomach lining and, on top of dual antiplatelet therapy, clearly raises the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Be cautious with supplements that affect bleeding. Ginkgo biloba, high-dose garlic, ginger, ginseng, turmeric, fish oil and vitamin E all reduce platelet function further. Culinary amounts in cooking are not a concern.
• Follow a heart-healthy diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and pulses, limited salt, and reduced fried and saturated fat, since the underlying artery disease still needs managing.
