Clorel Tablet 75 mg contains Clopidogrel Bisulphate, an antiplatelet medication that helps prevent blood clots in the arteries. It is commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications in patients with a history of heart disease or peripheral arterial disease. Clopidogrel works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, ensuring smoother blood flow and reducing the chance of clot formation.
