Clopitab belongs to antiplatelet group of drugs.

This drug is prescribed to you in the post PTCA period especially to prevent the formation of new clots/stenosis within the diseased coronary vessels ex. LAD in your case.

This drug is known to prevent new heart attacks in stented patients as well.

This drug is generally used in doses of 75-150 mg on lifelong basis.
