Summary

Main use
Prevention of thrombotic cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.)
Who takes it
Adults · Children
Adult dose
Do not use this medicine concomitantly with other ADP receptor inhibitors (ticlopidine, clopidogrel, prasugrel). Acute coronary syndrome: Administer an initial dose of 180mg, followed by 90mg twice daily. Treatment is recommended for 12 months unless discontinuation of this medicine is clinically necessary. Patients taking this medicine should also receive a maintenance dose of aspirin (75 - 150mg), unless specifically contraindicated. Patients with a history of myocardial infarction (occurring at least 1 year previously) who are at high risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events: Administer 60mg twice daily. Patients taking this medicine should also receive a maintenance dose of aspirin (75 - 150mg), unless specifically contraindicated. Patients who took 90mg of this medicine or another ADP receptor inhibitor (ticlopidine, clopidogrel, prasugrel) during the first year after myocardial infarction may continue treatment with 60mg of this medicine. Treatment with this medicine may also be initiated in patients within 2 years after myocardial infarction or within 1 year after discontinuation of a previous ADP receptor inhibitor (ticlopidine, clopidogrel, prasugrel). The safety and efficacy of this medicine were evaluated at 3 years of follow-up. Patients with type 2 diabetes who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease: Administer 60mg twice daily. Patients taking this medicine should also receive a maintenance dose of aspirin (75 - 150mg), unless specifically contraindicated. Refer to the dosage and administration for patients with acute coronary syndrome. Data on the safety and efficacy of this medicine for treatment lasting more than 3 years are limited. Patients with acute ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack: Administer an initial dose of 180mg, followed by 90mg twice daily for 30 days. Patients taking this medicine should also receive a maintenance dose of aspirin (75 - 100mg), unless specifically contraindicated. An initial loading dose of aspirin (300-325mg) is recommended in patients with acute ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack. This medicine is administered orally and may be taken with or without food. For patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, crush this medicine into a fine powder, disperse it in half a glass of water, and drink the mixture. Rinse the glass with another half glass of water and drink it. This mixture may also be administered through a nasogastric tube (CH8 or larger); it is important to flush the nasogastric tube with water after administration. When switching from another antiplatelet agent to this medicine, start this medicine 24 hours after the last dose of the previous medicine. If a dose is missed, take only 1 tablet (the next scheduled dose) at the next scheduled dosing time. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with mild hepatic impairment. This medicine has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment, and experience with its use in patients with moderate hepatic impairment is limited.
Child dose
Safety and efficacy have not been established in pediatric patients under 18 years of age (see the 'Other' section).

  • Thrombotic cardiovascular events

  • risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events
  • history of myocardial infarction
  • history of stroke
  • acute ischemic stroke
  • transient ischemic attack
View approved original text

This medication is effective in reducing the incidence of thrombotic cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke due to cardiovascular problems when used together with aspirin in adult patients. It is particularly beneficial for patients with acute coronary syndrome or those at high risk for thrombotic cardiovascular events with a history of myocardial infarction more than one year ago. Additionally, in coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes who have no history of myocardial infarction or stroke and have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention, it also helps to lower the incidence of myocardial infarction or stroke when used with aspirin. Furthermore, in patients with acute ischemic stroke with a NIH Stroke Scale score of 5 or less, or in patients with high-risk transient ischemic attacks, it helps reduce the incidence of stroke when used with aspirin. This efficacy effectively improves the incidence of thrombotic cardiovascular events.

Precautions

This drug inhibits platelet activity in the blood, preventing blood clots, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction or stroke. However, this medication may increase the risk of bleeding, so it should not be used in patients who already have bleeding or a history of intracranial hemorrhage. Patients undergoing surgery should discontinue this drug at least 5 days prior to the procedure and should immediately inform their doctor if bleeding symptoms occur. Patients with an allergy to this medication, severe liver dysfunction, or those taking certain strong medications should not use it. Patients at high risk for bleeding, those who have recently undergone surgery, or those with symptoms of bradycardia or dyspnea should use this drug with caution and regularly monitor their condition under a doctor's guidance. This medication may cause side effects such as dyspnea, dizziness, and bleeding, and any unusual symptoms should be reported to healthcare professionals immediately. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking this medication, and women of childbearing age should take appropriate contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy during treatment. Moreover, it is not recommended for children under 18 years of age as its safety and efficacy have not been established. This medication may interact with other drugs, so it is essential to inform the doctor or pharmacist about any other medications being taken, particularly those metabolized in the liver or those for hypertension or heart conditions. In case of overdose, the risk of bleeding may increase, so it is important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and regimen; if an overdose is suspected, immediately visit a healthcare facility. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and preferably stored in its original packaging.
