3 medicines containing Prasugrel
Prasugrel is an antiplatelet medicine used to help prevent blood clots. It belongs to the P2Y12 inhibitor class and works by reducing platelet sticking, which helps keep blood flowing through narrowed or stented arteries.
It is commonly prescribed after certain heart procedures, such as stent placement, to lower the risk of heart attack or other clot-related events. Prasugrel can increase bleeding risk, so it should be used only as directed and may not be suitable for people with a history of stroke or active bleeding.
