How Clopiheart As 75 Tablet 10 Works?Clopiheart As 75 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:
- Aspirin (75 mg): This component works by permanently blocking an enzyme in your body known as cyclooxygenase (COX). The COX enzyme aids in producing substances called prostaglandins and thromboxane A2 which contribute to clot formation and constrict blood vessels. By inhibiting COX, aspirin effectively reduces the risk of blood clot formation.
- Clopidogrel (75 mg): This ingredient is classified as a prodrug, which means it needs to be converted into its active form within the body. Once activated in the liver, it prevents a substance called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from binding to its platelet receptor known as P2Y12. This action inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, thereby reducing clot formation.
