Prasugrel

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Prasugrel is based on the active component prasugrel, which is a platelet aggregation inhibitor. This component helps prevent platelets from sticking together, which reduces the risk of blood clots in the vessels. The composition of the drug also includes other excipients that improve its absorption and effectiveness.

Particular attention is paid to ensuring that the excipients maintain the consistency of the dosage and activity of the main substance. In addition, their combination and proportions are carefully tested to avoid possible allergic reactions and negative interactions. In general, the composition of Prasugrel ensures its effectiveness and safety when used correctly.

• Active component: prasugrel.
• Excipients to improve absorption.
• A combination of substances to maintain dosage stability.

How does it work?

Prasugrel works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which is achieved by acting on specific receptors in the body. This prevents the formation of blood clots in blood vessels, which is critical for patients who have had a myocardial infarction or have an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Due to this mechanism of action, a significant reduction in the risk of repeated heart attacks and strokes is achieved, which makes prasugrel indispensable in the complex therapy of such patients.

The effect of the drug is manifested by blocking certain pathways of platelet activation. Due to this, the possibility of blood clots formation is significantly reduced, and blood flow through the coronary vessels improves. This is especially important in cases where patients already have a history of thrombosis, and in such clinical situations, prasugrel shows greater effectiveness.

Indications

Prasugrel is indicated primarily for patients who have had a myocardial infarction and undergone balloon angioplasty. Its use is also recommended to prevent recurrent heart attacks or strokes, as well as to reduce the risk of vascular thrombosis in people with acute coronary syndrome. In addition, prasugrel is recommended to prevent stent thrombosis, which is especially important for people with coronary artery syndrome.

The drug can be useful in a complex of therapeutic measures aimed at maintaining cardiovascular health in patients with a high risk of thrombosis. Medical recommendations and clinical trials confirm its effectiveness and safety when used correctly.

• After a myocardial infarction.
• Prevention of recurrent cardiovascular incidents.
• Prevention of stent thrombosis.

Contraindications

Contraindications for the use of Prasugrel are quite serious and require attention from both the patient and the doctor. The drug should not be used in the presence of active bleeding, such as gastric ulcer or bleeding in the brain. It is also contraindicated in patients with a history of stroke, including transient ischemic attacks.

It is especially important to avoid using prasugrel before surgery, as its effect on blood clotting may increase the risks of surgery. It is also necessary to consider the risk of allergic reactions to prasugrel itself or the accompanying substances that are part of it.

• Active bleeding (stomach ulcer, cerebral hemorrhage).
• History of strokes and transient ischemic attacks.
• Planned operations and surgical interventions.

Side effects

The use of Prasugrel, like any medicine, may be accompanied by a number of side effects. Some of them may require immediate medical attention. The most common is an increased risk of bleeding, which can lead to serious and life-threatening conditions. It is especially important to monitor such effects in elderly patients.

Allergic reactions are possible, manifested by hives, swelling of the face and difficulty breathing. Serious side effects include manifestations of insufficient blood clotting and symptoms associated with internal bleeding. It is important for patients to monitor their condition and, at the slightest suspicion of serious side effects, consult a doctor.

• Increased risk of bleeding.
• Allergic reactions (hives, difficulty breathing).
• Symptoms of internal bleeding (burning, weakness).
