Acute coronary syndrome (ACS): it is suitable for reducing the occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS [Unstable angina (AI) / non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) ] Rate. It is used to reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). 

 Recent MI, Recent Stroke, or Confirmed Peripheral Artery Disease: For patients with confirmed peripheral artery disease or recent myocardial infarction (MI) or a history of recent stroke, it can reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke.

 

Pharmacology of Noclog Plus Tablet

Clopidogrel is a prodrug. It inhibits platelet activation and aggregation by irreversibly binding its active metabolites to P2Y12 ADP receptors on platelets. A dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation can be observed 2 hours after a single oral administration. A repeated daily dose of 75 mg inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation on the first day, and the inhibition reached a steady state between the 3rd and the 7th day.

 

Dosage & Administration of Noclog Plus Tablet

The recommended oral dose is one tablet daily.

Pregnancy & Lactation

There is no adequate and well controlled study of pregnant women. It should be used during pregnancy only when clearly necessary. It is not known whether clopidogrel is excreted in human milk. The importance of the drug to the mother should be considered and a decision made to stop breastfeeding or discontinue the drug.

 

Precautions

Since it is a prodrug, the metabolism of its active metabolites is affected by CYP2C19 (weak metabolizer) gene mutations and drugs that inhibit CYP2C19 (such as omeprazole and esomeprazole).

Simultaneous use of these drugs and CYP2C19 weak metabolizers may reduce the antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel. 
 

Because it inhibits platelet aggregation during the entire life cycle (710 days) of platelets, it may increase the risk of bleeding. In order to restore hemostasis, platelet transfusion within 4 hours after the loading dose or within 2 hours after the maintenance dose may be less effective. 
 

Discontinuation of clopidogrel increases the risk of cardiovascular events.

Discontinue medication 5 days prior to elective surgery due to risk of severe bleeding.

Clopidogrel was restored immediately after hemostasis. 
 

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is reported to require urgent treatment, including plasma exchange (plasma exchange). 
 

In patients receiving clopidogrel or patients with a history of allergies to other thienopyridines, allergies, including rash, angioedema, or haematological reactions have been reported.
