About Clotide Injection

Clotide Injection belongs to the group of medicines called 'antiplatelet agents' used to prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the chance of Myocardial infarction. Clotide Injection is used in the treatment of Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in both patients who need to be managed medically and also people undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. ACS is defined as a group of serious cardiac conditions wherein the blood flow to the heart decreases due to plaque formation. Clotide Injection is also used in the treatment of patients undergoing urgent PCI procedures and also in patients undergoing intracoronary stenting.
