Clopilet A 150 Capsule is taken orally.

Clopilet A 150 Capsule is a combination medicine and works through two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (150 mg): This component works by irreversibly blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). This enzyme is essential for making thromboxane A2, which helps platelets—tiny blood cells—stick together. By blocking this enzyme, aspirin reduces platelet activation and sticking.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This is a prodrug, which means it needs to be converted in your liver to its active form. Once activated, it stops platelets from sticking together by selectively binding to P2Y12 receptors on the platelets. This blocks the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex activation which is triggered by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), another substance that promotes platelet aggregation.

These two components work together to inhibit different pathways of platelet aggregation, providing enhanced protection against clot formation compared to either agent alone.

• Store your Clopilet A 150 Capsule in a cool and dry place.

• Keep it shielded from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Ensure the medication is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packaging before use.

• If you're taking Clopilet A 150 Capsule for cardiovascular conditions, try to maintain a low-sodium diet. High salt intake can increase blood pressure, exacerbating heart issues.

• Regular physical activity like walking or cycling can help keep your cardiovascular system healthy. However, avoid any strenuous exercises that might cause injuries, as Clopilet A 150 Capsule may increase your risk of bleeding. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
