Lavix 75 mg Tablet

Lavix 75 mg Tablet is an oral antiplatelet medicine that contains 75 mg of clopidogrel in each tablet. It belongs to the P2Y12 inhibitor class, which helps prevent harmful blood clots from forming in the blood vessels. Doctors use Lavix 75 mg Tablet to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other clot-related problems in people with certain heart or blood vessel conditions. This specific pack contains 10 tablets and is made by HAB Pharmaceuticals, India.

How it works: Lavix 75 mg Tablet works by making platelets less sticky, so they are less likely to clump together and form a clot. The tablet must be swallowed and then absorbed before clopidogrel can block platelet activation in the body.

Lavix 75 mg Tablet is the standard daily strength of clopidogrel used for maintenance therapy after a doctor decides antiplatelet treatment is needed. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this tablet represents the full-strength maintenance dose rather than a lower starter dose or a higher-intensity option.

• Prevention of heart attack
• Prevention of ischemic stroke
• Prevention of clotting after certain heart or artery procedures
• Lowering risk in peripheral artery disease
• Secondary prevention after a prior clot-related event

• Swallow the Lavix 75 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes, usually once daily.
• You may take it with or without food.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your doctor tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Take this medicine regularly, even if you feel well, because its benefit is preventive.

Each Lavix 75 mg Tablet provides 75 mg of clopidogrel. This strength is commonly taken once a day for maintenance, but your doctor may choose a different schedule based on your condition, other medicines, and bleeding risk. Do not take more than the prescribed amount per day unless your clinician specifically instructs you to do so.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
