MABOCLOPbelongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are small blood elements smaller than red or white blood cells, and they aggregate when blood clots.Antiplatelet agents, by preventing this aggregation, reduce the likelihood of blood clots (a process called thrombosis) forming.
MABOCLOPis administered to prevent blood clots (thrombi)inblood vessels (arteries) hardened, a process known as atherothrombosis, and which may cause atherothrombotic effects (such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, or death).
You have been prescribedMABOCLOPto help prevent blood clots from forming and reduce the risk of these serious events because:
-You suffer from a process that produces artery hardening (also known as atherothrombosis), and
-You have previously suffered a myocardial infarction, a cerebral infarction, or suffer from a disease called peripheral arterial disease, or
-You have suffered a severe type of chest pain, known as “unstable angina” or “myocardial infarction”. For the treatment of this disease, your doctor may need to place a stent in the obstructed or narrowed artery to restore adequate blood flow. It is possible that your doctor has also prescribed acetylsalicylic acid (a substance present in many medicines used to relieve pain and reduce fever, as well as to prevent blood clots from forming).
