Clopidogrel Tablets are indicated for the management of blood clotting disorders. As an anti-platelet medication, Clopidogrel is used in the treatment of conditions such as hypercoagulability, cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and more. It is also commonly used as an alternative for pets intolerant to aspirin.How it Works

Clopidogrel's action mechanism is irreversibly inhibiting the adenosine diphosphate receptors in the membranes of platelet cells. It is considered a prodrug, and it has to undergo hepatic metabolism to its active metabolite.

Special Precautions

• Based on findings in human use, Clopidogrel should not be administered to animals experiencing active bleeding.
• Keep out of reach of animals and children.

Overdose Information
