PRAX 5MG
Product Description
PRAX 5MG tablet containing PRASUGREL is an antiplatelet medicine used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and dangerous blood clot formation in patients with acute coronary syndrome or those undergoing angioplasty with stent placement. It belongs to the P2Y12 platelet inhibitor class and works by preventing platelets from sticking together and forming clots. PRAX 5MG tablet is commonly prescribed along with aspirin as part of dual antiplatelet therapy after PCI. It is available in maintenance strengths typically guided by body weight and bleeding risk. PRAX 5MG tablet dosage must be taken exactly as prescribed because missed doses may increase clot risk, while excess use may raise PRAX 5MG side effects such as serious bleeding. Long-term use helps protect heart stents and lowers recurrent cardiovascular events.
Pharmacist Note
Take PRAX 5MG tablet at the same time every day, with or without food. Do not stop it suddenly, especially after angioplasty or stent placement, unless your cardiologist advises it. Inform every doctor or dentist before procedures because this medicine can increase bleeding risk.
