INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2013.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

A specific inhibitor of platelet aggregation, has a coronary expansive effect.
Selectively reduces the binding of ADP to platelet receptors and the activation of GPIIb / IIIa receptors by ADP, thereby weakening platelet aggregation.
Reduces platelet aggregation caused by other agonists, preventing their activation by released ADP, does not affect the activity of phosphodiesterase (PDE).Irreversibly binds to ADP-receptor platelets, which remain immune to stimulation of ADP throughout the life cycle (about 7 days).

The inhibition of platelet aggregation is observed 2 hours after taking the drug (40% inhibition) at an initial dose of 400 mg.
The maximum effect (60% suppression of aggregation) develops after 4-7 days of constant admission in a dose of 50-100 mg / day. Antiaggregant effect persists throughout the life span of platelets (7-10 days).Aggregation of platelets and bleeding time return to the baseline, on average, 5 days after cessation of treatment.
In the presence of an atherosclerotic lesion, the vessel interferes with the development of atherothrombosis regardless of the localization of the vascular process (cerebrovascular, cardiovascular or peripheral lesions).

PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction and distribution

Absorption and bioavailability are high;
the concentration in the plasma is low and after 2 hours after the intake it does not reach the measurement limit (0.025 Ојg / l).Clopidogrel and the main metabolite bind reversibly to plasma proteins (98% and 94%, respectively).
Metabolism

Metabolised in the liver.
The main metabolite is an inactive derivative of carboxylic acid, which accounts for about 85% of the compound circulating in the plasma. Cmax metabolite, after repeated oral administration of clopidogrel at a dose of 75 mg, is achieved after 1 hour and is about 3 mg / l. Clopidogrel is a precursor of the active substance. Its active metabolite, a thiol derivative, is formed by oxidizing clopidogrel to 2-oxo-clopidogrel and subsequent hydrolysis. The oxidative process is regulated, first of all, by cytochrome P450 2B6 and 3A4 isoenzymes, and, to a lesser extent, 1A1, 1A2 and 1C19. The active thiol metabolite quickly and irreversibly binds to platelet receptors, thereby suppressing platelet aggregation. This metabolite is not detected in plasma.
Excretion

It is excreted by the kidneys - 50%, the intestines - 46% (within 120 hours after administration).
T 1/2 of the main metabolite after a single and repeated intake - 8 hours. Concentrations of kidney metabolites - 50%.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

After taking clopidogrel at a dose of 75 mg / day in patients with severe kidney disease (SC 5-15 ml / min), the concentration of the main metabolite in the plasma is lower than in patients with moderate kidney disease (QC from 30 to 60 ml / min) and healthy individuals.
Although the inhibitory effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation was reduced (25%), compared to the same effect in healthy volunteers, bleeding time was extended to the same extent as in healthy volunteers who received clopidogrel at a dose of 75 mg / day.
In patients with cirrhosis of the liver, the use of clopidogrel at a daily dose of 75 mg for 10 days was safe and well tolerated, C max clopidogrel, both after single dose administration and in the equilibrium state, was many times higher in patients with cirrhosis than in healthy persons.

INDICATIONS

- prophylaxis of thrombotic complications in patients with myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke or occlusion of peripheral arteries;

- in combination with acetylsalicylic acid for the prevention of thrombotic complications in acute coronary syndrome: with elevation of the ST segment with the possibility of carrying out thrombolytic therapy;
without ST segment elevation (unstable angina, myocardial infarction without Q-wave formation), incl. in patients who underwent stenting.
DOSING MODE

Tablets are taken orally, regardless of food intake.

For the prevention of ischemic disorders in patients after a previous myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or against the background of diagnosed peripheral arterial diseases, adults (including elderly patients) are treated with PlagrilВ® 75 mg once a day.
Treatment should be started within 35 days after a Q-forming myocardial infarction and from 7 days to 6 months after an ischemic stroke.
In acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation (unstable angina or myocardial infarction without Q wave formation) treatment should begin with the appointment of a single loading dose of 300 mg, then continue the use of the drug at a dose of 75 mg 1 time / day (with concurrent administration of acetylsalicylic acid in a dose 75-325 mg / day).

Since the use of acetylsalicylic acid in high doses is associated with a high risk of bleeding, the recommended dose should not be more than 100 mg.
The course of treatment is up to 1 year.
In acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation (acute myocardial infarction), the drug is prescribed at a dose of 75 mg 1 time / day using the initial loading dose in combination with acetylsalicylic acid, in combination or without thrombolytic agents.

For patients over the age of 75, clopidogrel treatment should be administered without the use of a loading dose.
Combination therapy is started as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms and is continued for a minimum of 4 weeks.

APPLICATION FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE FUNCTION OF KIDNEYS

Caution should be applied to the drug with moderate hepatic insufficiency.

In case of severe violations of liver function, one should remember about the risk of hemorrhagic diathesis.

APPLICATION FOR CHILDREN

Contraindicated in children and adolescents under 18 years.

APPLICATION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

For patients over the age of 75, clopidogrel treatment should be administered without the use of a loading dose.
Combination therapy is started as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms and is continued for a minimum of 4 weeks.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

In the case of surgical interventions, if antiaggregant effect is undesirable, the course of treatment should be discontinued 7 days before the operation.

Patients should be warned that because the stoppage of the bleeding that occurs when the drug is used requires more time, they should inform the doctor about every case of unusual bleeding.
Patients should also inform the doctor about taking the drug if they are undergoing surgery or if the doctor appoints a new medication for the patient.
During the treatment period, it is necessary to monitor the parameters of the hemostasis system (APTT, platelet count, platelet function tests), to regularly study the functional activity of the liver.

In case of severe violations of liver function, one should remember about the risk of hemorrhagic diathesis.

Use in Pediatrics

The drug is not prescribed for children under the age of 18 due to the fact that
safety and effectiveness of its use in this age group are not established.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

Signs of deterioration in the ability to drive or reduce mental performance after taking Plagril was not found.

OVERDOSE

Symptoms: with a single oral intake of healthy people 600 mg of clopidogrel (8 tablets of 75 mg), no side effects were noted.
The bleeding time was extended 1.7 times, which corresponds to the value registered after taking a therapeutic dose (75 mg / day).
Treatment: transfusion of platelet mass.
There is no specific antidote.
DRUG INTERACTION

With the simultaneous use of Plagril В® enhances the antiplatelet effect of acetylsalicylic acid, heparin, indirect anticoagulants, NSAIDs, increases the risk of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.

By inhibiting the activity of CYP2C9, clopidogrel increases the concentration of drugs metabolized by this isoenzyme (phenytoin, tolbutamide).
