Information about the active ingredient clopidogrel
Most medicines have two names: the active ingredient name and the brand name. It’s important to be able to identify each of your medicines by the active ingredient as well as the brand name. Knowing the active ingredient name will help you avoid confusing your medicines.
There may be several brands that contain the same active ingredient. There may also be brands that contain multiple active ingredients. NPS aims to help people find information about their medicines easily, so brand information may be included, but not all brands may be listed. Reference to a brand does not mean NPS recommends one brand over another. If you are not sure about your medicine’s active ingredient(s), check the Medicines Name Finder, or ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Below is information on medicines that contain the active ingredient clopidogrel.
