Indication Dosage

Prasugrel is a medication that is used to help prevent blood clots in people who have had heart-related problems like heart attacks or certain types of chest pain. It works by making the platelets in your blood less sticky, which reduces the risk of clots that can block blood flow to the heart. Your doctor may prescribe Prasugrel to keep your blood flowing smoothly and lower the chances of having another heart problem.
