Description
Prasunol 10mg Tablet is a medicine used to prevent the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels. It contains prasugrel, a blood thinner that helps improve blood flow and reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, or chest pain caused by blocked arteries. It is often prescribed to people with heart disease or those who have undergone procedures like stent placement.
This medicine works by preventing platelets, the tiny cells in your blood, from sticking together and forming clots. By keeping the blood thin, Prasunol 10mg Tablet helps maintain smooth circulation and lowers the risk of serious heart-related complications. However, it does not dissolve pre-existing clots.
You should take Prasunol 10mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as doing so can increase your risk of another heart attack or stroke. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next one.
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any bleeding problems, stomach ulcers, liver issues, or if you are planning to have surgery. This medicine is not recommended for children or adolescents. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only if advised by their doctor.
Your doctor may also suggest certain lifestyle changes to improve your heart health. Eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking and alcohol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight can all help enhance the benefits of Prasunol 10mg Tablet and reduce future heart risks.
