1. What is Clopidogrel SUN and what is it used for

Clopidogrel SUN contains clopidogrel and belongs to a group of medications called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are very small cells that are found in the blood, and they aggregate when the blood clots. Antiplatelet agents, by preventing this aggregation, reduce the likelihood of blood clots (a process known as thrombosis) forming.

Clopidogrel SUN is administered to adults to prevent blood clots (thrombi) from forming in hardened blood vessels (arteries), a process known as atherothrombosis, which can cause atherothrombotic effects (such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, or death).

You have been prescribed Clopidogrel SUN to help prevent blood clots from forming and reduce the risk of these serious events because:

- you have a process that produces the hardening of the arteries (also known as atherosclerosis), and

- you have previously experienced a myocardial infarction, a cerebral infarction, or have a disease known as peripheral arterial disease.

- you have experienced symptoms of a stroke that disappear in a short period of time (also known as a transient ischemic attack) or a mild ischemic stroke

  • . It is possible that your doctor has also prescribed acetylsalicylic acid (a substance present in many medications used to relieve pain and reduce fever, as well as to prevent blood clots) during the first 24 hours.
  • .
  • you have experienced symptoms of a stroke that disappear in a short period of time (also known as a transient ischemic attack) or a mild ischemic stroke. Your doctor may also administer acetylsalicylic acid during the first 24 hours.

- you have an irregular heartbeat, a disease known as “atrial fibrillation”, and cannot take medications known as “oral anticoagulants” (vitamin K antagonists) that prevent the formation of new clots and prevent the growth of existing clots. You have been told that “oral anticoagulants” are more effective than acetylsalicylic acid or the combined use of Clopidogrel SUN and acetylsalicylic acid for this disease. Your doctor has prescribed Clopidogrel SUN plus acetylsalicylic acid if you cannot take “oral anticoagulants” and do not have a high risk of severe bleeding.

2. What you need to know before starting Clopidogrel SUN

Do not take Clopidogrel SUN:

- If you are hypersensitive or allergic to any of the components of this medication (listed in section 6);

- If you have a disease that causes bleeding, such as a stomach ulcer or brain hemorrhage;

- If you have a severe liver disease.

If you think any of this may affect you, or if you have any doubts, consult your doctor before taking Clopidogrel SUN.

Warnings and precautions

If you are in any of the situations described below, inform your doctor before starting to take Clopidogrel SUN

?? If you are at risk of bleeding (bleeding) because:

- You have a disease that involves an increased risk of internal bleeding (such as a stomach ulcer).

- You have a blood disorder that predisposes you to internal bleeding (bleeding in tissues, organs, or joints of the body).

- You have recently suffered a serious injury.

- You have recently undergone surgery (including dental surgery).

- You are scheduled to undergo surgery (including dental surgery) in the next seven days.

?? If you have had a blood clot in a cerebral artery (ischemic stroke) in the last 7 days.

?? If you have liver or kidney diseases.

?? If you have had an allergy or reaction to any medication used to treat your disease.

  • If you have a history of non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage.

During treatment with Clopidogrel SUN:

?? Inform your doctor if you are scheduled for surgery (including dental surgery).

?? Inform your doctor immediately if you develop a disorder (also known as Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura or TTP) that includes fever and hematomas (bruises) under the skin that may appear as localized red spots, accompanied or not by extreme fatigue, confusion, yellow discoloration of the skin or eyes (jaundice) (see section 4 "Possible side effects").

?? If you cut or injure yourself, bleeding may take longer than usual to stop. This is related to the way the medication works, as it prevents the blood from forming clots. For minor cuts or injuries, such as cutting during shaving, this is not a problem. However, if you are concerned about your bleeding, consult your doctor immediately (see section 4 "Possible side effects").

?? Your doctor may request blood tests.
