Prasugrel is an antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome, particularly those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It works by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This medication is typically prescribed alongside aspirin to enhance its effectiveness. Patients are usually advised to take Prasugrel daily, but it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with a history of bleeding disorders or certain medical conditions. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and dosage.
