About Clopilet Tablet

Clopilet Tablet is an antiplatelet medicine (blood thinner) that helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in blood vessels. By keeping blood flowing smoothly, it lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

It is commonly prescribed to individuals who are at high risk of heart disease, such as those with peripheral vascular disease, recent heart attack or stroke, unstable angina, or who have undergone heart procedures like stenting. Clopilet may also be used alongside other medicines, such as low-dose aspirin, for enhanced heart protection.
