COMPOSITION
- Myoclop 75 mg Tablet: Each film-coated tablet contains Clopidogrel Bisulfate USP equivalent to Clopidogrel 75 mg.
PHARMACOLOGY
Myoclop (Clopidogrel) is a selective ADP receptor antagonist to inhibit platelet aggregation. Myoclop (Clopidogrel) selectively inhibits the binding of Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its platelet receptor and the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation.
INDICATION
Myoclop is indicated for the prevention of atherosclerotic events in patients with a history of symptomatic atherosclerotic disease (ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, or established peripheral arterial disease). It is given prophylactically as an alternative to aspirin in patients at risk of thromboembolic disorders such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
- The recommended dose of Myoclop 75 mg is once daily, with or without food. No dosage adjustment is necessary for elderly patients or patients with renal disease.

DRUG INTERACTION

Cautions should be used in co-administration of phenytoin, tamoxifen, tolbutamide, warfarin, fluvastatin with Clopidogrel for possible impaired metabolism.
