pharmachologic effect

Antiplatelet drug, a specific and active inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Has a coronary dilation effect. Selectively reduces the binding of ADP to platelet receptors and the activation of GPI Ib/IIIa receptors under the influence of ADP, thereby reducing platelet aggregation. Reduces platelet aggregation caused by other agonists, preventing their activation by released ADP, does not affect PDE activity. Irreversibly binds to platelet ADP receptors, which remain resistant to ADP stimulation throughout the life cycle (about 7 days).

Inhibition of platelet aggregation is observed 2 hours after administration (40% inhibition) of the initial dose of 400 mg. The maximum effect (60% suppression of aggregation) develops after 4-7 days of continuous use at a dose of 50-100 mg/day. The antiplatelet effect lasts throughout the life of platelets (7-10 days).

In the presence of atherosclerotic lesions of the vessel, it prevents the development of atherothrombosis, regardless of the localization of the vascular process (cerebrovascular, cardiovascular or peripheral lesions).

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

Absorption is high, bioavailability is high; the plasma concentration is low and 2 hours after administration does not reach the measurement limit (0.025 μg/l).

Distribution

Plasma protein binding is 94-98%.

Metabolism

Metabolized in the liver. The main metabolite is an inactive derivative of carboxylic acid. After oral administration in repeated doses of 75 mg, the Cmax of the metabolite in the blood plasma is about 3 mg/l and is achieved after 1 hour.

Removal

Excreted by the kidneys - 50%, through the intestines - 46% (within 120 hours after administration). T1/2 of the main metabolite after a single and repeated dose is 8 hours. The concentration of metabolites excreted by the kidneys is 50%.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

After taking the drug at a dose of 75 mg/day, the concentration of the main metabolite in plasma is lower in patients with severe kidney disease (creatinine clearance 5-15 ml/min) compared to patients with moderate kidney disease (creatinine clearance 30 to 60 ml/min) and healthy individuals.

Dosage

The drug is taken orally, regardless of food intake.

For patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or with diagnosed peripheral arterial disease, the drug is prescribed 75 mg 1 time / day. Treatment should begin from the first days to 35 days in patients after myocardial infarction and from 7 days to 6 months in patients after ischemic stroke.

In acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation (unstable angina, myocardial infarction without a Q wave on the ECG), including patients who have undergone stenting during percutaneous coronary intervention, treatment with Lopirel should be started with a single dose of 300 mg loading dose, and then continued in dose of 75 mg 1 time / day (in combination with acetylsalicylic acid). Since the use of acetylsalicylic acid in high doses is associated with an increased risk of bleeding, the recommended dose of acetylsalicylic acid for this indication does not exceed 100 mg. The maximum beneficial effect is observed by the 3rd month of treatment. The course of treatment is up to 1 year.

For patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation (acute myocardial infarction) in combination with acetylsalicylic acid, receiving drug treatment with the possible use of thrombolytic therapy, Lopirel is prescribed a single dose of 75 mg 1 time / day with an initial single dose of a loading dose in combination with acetylsalicylic acid acid and thrombolytics (or without thrombolytics). Combination therapy is started as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms and continued for at least 4 weeks. In patients over 75 years of age, treatment with Lopirel should be started without taking a loading dose.

Overdose

Symptoms: may increase bleeding time.

Treatment: If rapid correction of prolonged bleeding time is necessary, the effect of clopidogrel can be reversed by platelet transfusion. There is no specific antidote.

Drug interactions

When clopidogrel is used simultaneously with warfarin, the intensity of bleeding may increase (this combination is not recommended).

Acetylsalicylic acid does not change the inhibitory effect of clopidogrel on ADP-induced platelet aggregation, however, clopidogrel potentiates the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on collagen-induced platelet aggregation. However, the simultaneous use of acetylsalicylic acid at a dose of 500 mg 2 times / day did not cause any significant increase in bleeding time, prolonged due to clopidogrel. The safety of long-term simultaneous use of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel has not been established, however, clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid can be used simultaneously for up to one year.

According to a clinical study conducted on healthy volunteers, the simultaneous use of clopidogrel and heparin does not require dose adjustment of the latter and does not affect the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel, but the safety of this combination has not yet been established (caution is required with this combination).

The safety of simultaneous use of clopidogrel with thrombolytics has not currently been established (caution is required with this combination).

In a clinical study conducted in healthy volunteers, an increase in occult gastrointestinal bleeding was observed when clopidogrel and naproxen were administered together. However, due to the lack of clinical studies of the interaction of the drug with other NSAIDs, it has not yet been established whether there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when using other drugs in this group (caution is required when combining clopidogrel and NSAIDs).

No clinically significant pharmacodynamic interaction was detected when clopidogrel was used in combination with atenolol and/or nifedipine.

The pharmacodynamic activity of Lopirel remains virtually unchanged when used simultaneously with phenobarbital, cimetidine or estrogens.

The pharmacokinetic properties of digoxin or theophylline do not change when used together with clopidogrel.

Antacids do not alter the absorption of clopidogrel.

Data obtained from studies with human liver microsomes indicate that clopidogrel may inhibit the activity of the CYP2C9 isoenzyme. As a result, plasma concentrations of some drugs, such as phenytoin and tolbutamide, may increase because they are metabolized by CYP2C9. The results of the CAPRIE study indicate the safety of the use of phenytoin and tolbutamide in combination with clopidogrel.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

The drug is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).

Indications

Prevention of atherothrombosis:

- in patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or with diagnosed peripheral arterial disease;

- in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation (unstable angina or myocardial infarction without a Q wave on the ECG), in combination with acetylsalicylic acid, including patients who have undergone stenting during percutaneous coronary intervention;

- in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation (acute myocardial infarction) in combination with acetylsalicylic acid, receiving drug treatment with the possible use of thrombolytic therapy.

Contraindications

- severe liver failure;

- hemorrhagic syndrome;

- acute bleeding (including intracranial hemorrhage) and diseases predisposing to its development (peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute phase, nonspecific ulcerative colitis, tuberculosis, lung tumors, hyperfibrinolysis);

- pregnancy;

- lactation period (breastfeeding);

- neonatal period;

- age under 18 years (efficacy and safety have not been established);

- galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption (since the drug contains lactose);

- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

The drug should be used with caution in patients with moderate hepatic and/or renal insufficiency, with injuries, in the preoperative period; simultaneously with acetylsalicylic acid, NSAIDs (including COX-2 inhibitors), warfarin, thrombolytic agents, heparin, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.

special instructions

In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, treatment with clopidogrel should not be started within the first few days after myocardial infarction.

Due to the lack of clinical data, clopidogrel is not recommended for use in acute ischemic stroke (less than 7 days).

If bleeding develops during treatment with the drug, it is necessary to immediately conduct a clinical blood test (aPTT, platelet count, platelet functional activity tests) and liver functional activity.

Like other antithrombotic drugs, clopidogrel should be used with caution in patients with an increased risk of bleeding (especially gastrointestinal and intraocular) due to injury, surgery or pathological conditions, as well as in the case of combined use of clopidogrel with acetylsalicylic acid, NSAIDs, heparin, glycoprotein inhibitors IIb/IIIa or thrombolytics.

Severe cases of bleeding have been reported in patients taking clopidogrel concomitantly with acetylsalicylic acid or with acetylsalicylic acid and heparin.

Clopidogrel increases bleeding time, so patients should be warned that since it takes a long time to stop the bleeding that occurs during the use of the drug (both as monotherapy and in combination with acetylsalicylic acid), it is necessary to inform the doctor about each case of bleeding. Patients should also inform the doctor and dentist about taking the drug in case of upcoming surgery or if the doctor prescribes a new drug for the patient.

In the case of surgical interventions, if the antiplatelet effect is undesirable, the course of treatment with clopidogrel should be discontinued 7 days before surgery.

Patients should be closely monitored for signs of bleeding, including occult bleeding, especially during the first weeks of treatment and/or after invasive cardiac procedures or surgery.
