1. What is Bewim and What is it Used for
Bewim, which Contains the Active Substance Prasugrel, Belongs to a Group of Medications Called Antiplatelet Medications. Platelets are Very Small Blood Cells that Circulate in the Blood. When a Blood Vessel is Damaged, for Example, by a Cut, Platelets Clump Together to Help Form a Blood Clot. Platelets Play a Crucial Role in Stopping Bleeding. The Formation of a Blood Clot in a Hardened Artery, such as a Coronary Artery, is Very Dangerous, as it can Block the Flow of Blood, Causing a Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction), Stroke, or Death. The Presence of a Blood Clot in the Arteries that Supply Blood to the Heart can Reduce Blood Flow and Cause Unstable Angina (Severe Chest Pain). Bewim Inhibits Platelet Clumping and Thus Reduces the Risk of Blood Clot Formation. Bewim has been Prescribed by Your Doctor because You have had a Heart Attack or Unstable Angina, and You have Undergone a Procedure to Open Up Blocked Arteries in Your Heart. You may have had a Procedure where one or more Stents were Placed to Keep the Blocked or Narrowed Artery that Supplies Blood to the Heart Open. Bewim Reduces the Risk of Having Another Heart Attack, Stroke, or Death from these Events. Your Doctor will also Recommend Taking Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid), which is also an Antiplatelet Medication.
