1. What is Prasugrel Krka and what is it used for

Prasugrel Krka contains the active substance prasugrel, which belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are very small cells that circulate in the blood. When a blood vessel is damaged, for example if you cut yourself, platelets clump together to help form a blood clot.

Therefore, platelets are essential to help stop bleeding. The formation of blood clots in hardened blood vessels, such as arteries, can be very dangerous because they prevent blood from flowing, causing a heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke, or death. Blood clots in arteries that supply blood to the heart can also reduce blood supply, causing unstable angina (severe chest pain).

Prasugrel Krka inhibits platelet clumping, which reduces the chance of forming blood clots.

You have been prescribed Prasugrel Krka because you have had a heart attack or unstable angina and have been treated with a procedure to open up blocked heart arteries. You may have had one or more stents placed in the blocked or narrowed artery to restore blood flow to the heart. Prasugrel Krka reduces the chance of having another heart attack or stroke, or of dying from one of these events. Your doctor will also prescribe acetylsalicylic acid (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid), another antiplatelet agent.
