Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Effient is prasugrel. It is anti platelet drug.
It is absorbed from intestine.
Since you have not swallowed it, no need to worry for any side effects.
You have done right thing by spitting it out.
Don't worry, nothing will happen.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
