Clopidogrel Farmoz Indications/Uses

Clopidogrel is taken by adults to prevent atherothrombosis, which can lead to atherothrombotic events (such as stroke, heart attack, or death).

For the treatment of this condition, a stent may have been placed in the blocked or narrowed artery to restore effective blood flow. Acetylsalicylic acid may also be given.
Patients who have experienced symptoms of transient ischemic attack or mild ischemic stroke. Acetylsalicylic acid may also be given within the first 24 hours.
