6. Contents of the pack and additional information

Prasugrel Qualigen contains the active ingredient 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 when it is cut, platelets aggregate to help form a blood clot (thrombus). Therefore, platelets are essential in helping to stop bleeding. The formation of clots in hardened blood vessels, such as arteries, can be very dangerous as it prevents blood flow, causing a heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke (cerebrovascular accident) or death. Clots in arteries that supply blood to the heart can also reduce blood flow, causing unstable angina (severe chest pain).

Prasugrel Qualigen inhibits platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the possibility of blood clots forming.

You have been prescribed Prasugrel Qualigen because you have suffered a myocardial infarction or unstable angina and have undergone a procedure to open 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 Qualigen reduces the possibility of future myocardial infarction, stroke (cerebrovascular accident) or death due to one of these atherothrombotic events. Your doctor will also prescribe acetylsalicylic acid (e.g. aspirin), another antiplatelet agent.
