ZYLT PILLS 75MG

Active ingredient and dosage form

Zylt - coated tablets:

1 tab. contains Clopidogrel (in the form of hydrogensulfate) 75 mg; 14, 28, 30, 56, 84 or 90 pieces per pack.

Mechanism of action

Zylt - antiplatelet. Clopidogrel prevents the binding of adenosine phosphate (ADP) to the receptors located on the surface of platelets, and the activation of GP IIb / IIIa complex. This leads to inhibition of ADP-dependent platelet aggregation. It also leads to inhibition of platelet aggregation under the influence of other stimuli; the effect of ADP produced in each activated platelet is reduced, and the aggregation of the remaining platelets is stimulated. The effect of clopidogrel lasts throughout the life of the platelet, the platelet function is restored 7-10 days after discontinuation of clopidogrel.
