Efient – Prasugrel uses, dose and side effects
Efient, which contains the active substance prasugrel, belongs to a group of medicines called platelet inhibitors. Platelets are very small cells in the blood. When a blood vessel is damaged, for example in cuts, the platelets clump together to form a blood clot ( clot ). Therefore, platelets are necessary to stop bleeding. If blood clots form in an atherosclerotic blood vessel, such as an artery, they can become very dangerous because they can shut off the blood supply and cause a heart attack (heart attack), stroke, or death. Blood clots in the arteries (blood vessels) that supply the heart with blood can also reduce blood supply and cause unstable angina(angina).
