Progrel Ap 75mg Tablets

Overview

Progrel AP 75mg Tablets are a prescription antiplatelet medicine used to reduce the risk of unwanted blood clot formation in selected patients. Products with the “AP” naming convention commonly refer to an antiplatelet combination; however, the exact active ingredients and strengths should always be confirmed from the product strip, prescription, or pharmacist before use. This medicine should not be started, stopped, or changed without medical advice because antiplatelet therapy can affect bleeding risk.

Antiplatelet medicines are usually prescribed for people who need clot-prevention therapy after certain heart or blood-vessel conditions, such as previous heart attack, ischemic stroke, angina, coronary stent placement, or other doctor-diagnosed cardiovascular risk states. The suitability, dose, and duration depend on the patient’s diagnosis, bleeding risk, age, other medicines, and medical history.
