Noclot 75mg

Description

Noclot contains Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet medicine that helps prevent blood clots. After being converted into its active form in the body, it blocks platelets from sticking together. This reduces the chance of clots forming inside blood vessels, lowering the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other clot-related conditions. The effect lasts for the life of the platelet, around 7 to 10 days.

Doctor’s Overview — Dr. Imran Qureshi, MBBS, MD (Cardiology)

Clopidogrel is used after a heart attack or stroke to lower the risk of future clotting events. It works best when taken regularly, but patients must be careful about bleeding risks and should never stop the medicine without medical guidance.
