Prasugrel
Prasugrel is a prescription medication used to prevent blood clots in people with acute coronary syndrome who are undergoing a procedure called angioplasty. It belongs to a class of drugs known as thienopyridine antiplatelet agents. Prasugrel works by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation.
How is this medication used?
Prasugrel is typically taken orally, once daily, with or without food. The dosage may depend on the patient's condition, response to treatment, and other medications they may be taking. It's important to follow the prescribing doctor's directions closely and not to change the dosage without consulting them first.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of prasugrel include, but are not limited to, bleeding more easily than normal, headache, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue. Severe bleeding, allergic reactions, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are rare but serious side effects that require immediate medical attention.
What are the potential interactions?
Prasugrel can interact with several other medications, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding. These include anticoagulants ('blood thinners'), other antiplatelet drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It's important to inform the healthcare provider of all medications, vitamins, and supplements being taken.
