Indication Dosage

Clopidogrel and aspirin are medications used together to help prevent serious heart problems and strokes in people who have certain heart or blood vessel conditions. They work by reducing the risk of blood clots forming in your blood vessels, which can block blood flow and lead to heart attacks or strokes. Your doctor may prescribe these medicines if you have had a heart attack, certain types of chest pain, or a procedure to open blocked blood vessels. Always take them exactly as your doctor recommends to protect your heart and blood vessels.
