Pritorva Cv 10 Cap

Capsule

Prevention of blood clots (thrombotic events) after acute coronary syndrome (heart attack/unstable angina) and after coronary stent placement (PCI); helps reduce risk of heart attack and stroke in eligible patients.

Aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX-1 in platelets, reducing thromboxane A2 and platelet aggregation. Prasugrel is a P2Y12 (ADP) receptor inhibitor that prevents platelet activation and aggregation. Together they provide dual antiplatelet action to reduce clot formation.

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed by the cardiologist, usually once daily, with or without food. Swallow capsule whole with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next dose.

Bleeding, bruising, nosebleed, gastrointestinal bleeding, indigestion, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, rash

Increases risk of bleeding; seek urgent care for black stools, vomiting blood, prolonged bleeding, severe headache/weakness. Not recommended in patients with active bleeding, history of stroke/TIA, or severe liver disease unless specifically advised. Use caution in elderly (especially >75 years), low body weight (<60 kg), kidney impairment, peptic ulcer disease, and before surgery/dental procedures (may need temporary stoppage). Avoid taking additional aspirin/NSAIDs unless advised. Do not discontinue after stent without cardiologist advice due to risk of stent thrombosis.

Other anticoagulants/antiplatelets (warfarin, heparin, apixaban/rivaroxaban, clopidogrel/ticagrelor) increases bleeding risk; NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) and SSRIs/SNRIs increase bleeding risk; corticosteroids increase GI bleed risk; methotrexate (aspirin may increase levels/toxicity); alcohol increases GI bleeding risk.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture. Keep in original blister/strip and out of reach of children.
