Clopinol Ap 75/75 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This ingredient blocks an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) in your body. COX-1 plays a crucial role in clot formation by producing thromboxane A2, which aids platelet aggregation. By inhibiting COX-1, aspirin prevents platelet aggregation, reducing the risk of clot formation.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This ingredient is transformed into an active metabolite in your liver. This metabolite selectively binds to the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor P2Y12 present on platelets, tiny blood cells that aid in clot formation. By binding to this receptor, clopidogrel inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, thus reducing the risk of clot formation.
