Norplat 75mg Tablets — Clopidogrel for Blood Clot Prevention
Description
Norplat 75mg Tablets — Clopidogrel Antiplatelet Therapy
Norplat 75mg Tablets contain Clopidogrel 75mg, an antiplatelet agent that inhibits platelet aggregation to reduce the risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease complications.
This medicine requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
Clinical Uses
- Prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with established cardiovascular disease
- Post-acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and ischaemic stroke
- Patients with peripheral arterial disease
- Dual antiplatelet therapy following coronary stent placement (with aspirin)
- Management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS)
How It Works
Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is metabolised to an active thiol metabolite, which irreversibly inhibits the P2Y12 ADP receptor on platelet surfaces. This prevents ADP-induced platelet activation and aggregation, reducing the formation of arterial blood clots (thrombi).

Usage & Benefits
- Reduces risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in high-risk patients
- Prevents arterial thrombosis by irreversible platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibition
- Essential antiplatelet therapy post-myocardial infarction and post-stent placement
- Used in dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin for ACS management
- Reduces risk of recurrent ischaemic events in peripheral arterial disease
- Once-daily oral dosing for convenient long-term cardiovascular protection
How To Use
Take one tablet (75mg) orally once daily, with or without food, as prescribed by your physician. Swallow whole with water. Do not discontinue without explicit physician approval — stopping antiplatelet therapy prematurely after stent placement significantly increases clot risk. Inform all healthcare providers and surgeons that you are taking Clopidogrel before any procedure or surgery. Report unusual bleeding to your physician immediately.
