Ogrel Plus 81 Tablets

Ogrel Plus 81 Tablets is a tablet made by Bosch Pharmaceuticals Ltd that contains Clopidogrel + Aspirin, a dual antiplatelet medicine. It is used for prevention of heart attack and stroke after stents or acute coronary syndrome. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Ogrel Plus 81 Tablets

Ogrel Plus 81 Tablets is used to prevent blood clots in people who have had acute coronary syndrome, such as a heart attack or unstable angina, and in those who have had a stent placed in a heart artery. Taking both medicines together for a set period lowers the risk of another heart attack, a stroke or the stent becoming blocked. Your cardiologist decides how long you need the combination.

How Ogrel Plus 81 Tablets works

Clopidogrel and aspirin both make platelets, the blood cells that start clots, less sticky, but they do this in different ways. Clopidogrel blocks a receptor that platelets need in order to clump together, while aspirin stops them making a clotting signal called thromboxane. Together they protect against clots more strongly than either alone.

Possible side effects

Because Ogrel Plus 81 Tablets thins the blood, bleeding-related effects are the most common. They include:

• Bruising easily
• Nosebleeds or bleeding gums
• Indigestion or stomach pain
• Diarrhoea
• Prolonged bleeding from small cuts

Get urgent help for black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, blood in the urine, a severe headache, sudden weakness or confusion, or bleeding that will not stop.

Precautions and warnings

• Never stop taking it without your cardiologist’s advice, especially after a stent, as stopping early can cause a dangerous clot.
• Tell your dentist and any surgeon that you take it before a procedure.
• Avoid NSAID painkillers such as ibuprofen, and tell your doctor about other medicines, as omeprazole, esomeprazole and blood thinners can affect how it works or increase bleeding.
• Tell your doctor if you have had a stomach ulcer, bleeding problems, asthma triggered by aspirin, or liver or kidney disease.
• It is not suitable for children under 16 because it contains aspirin, and should be discussed with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
