Hi,
Clopitab A150 is a medication that contains Clopidogrel, which is an antiplatelet drug used to prevent blood clots in people who have had heart attacks, strokes, or other cardiovascular events. While stomach pain and gastritis are not common side effects of Clopidogrel, they can occur in some people.
It is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider before stopping or changing any medication. They can evaluate his symptoms and determine if they are related to the Clopidogrel or if there may be another underlying condition causing the stomach pain and gas.
In the meantime, your father can try taking the medication with food to help reduce stomach irritation. If the symptoms persist or become more severe, he should seek medical attention right away. A gastroenterologist can help determine the cause of the stomach pain and develop a treatment plan.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
