Usage

Clopidogrel Tablets should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian. Please consult your veterinarian before making any changes or discontinuing the prescribed dosing schedule.

This medication can be given with or without food; however, giving with food may help prevent gastrointestinal side effects and mask its bitter taste. Crushing or otherwise manipulating tablets may emphasize their bitter taste.

If your pet vomits or appears unwell after receiving a dose on an empty stomach, give future doses with food or a small treat. If vomiting continues, contact your veterinarian.

Missed doses

Administer the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (68 to 77°F, brief excursions permitted between 59 and 86°F). Keep in a tight, light-resistant container and out of the reach of children and pets. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in damp places. The medicine may break down if exposed to heat or moisture.

Side effects

This medication appears to be generally well tolerated in dogs, cats, and horses. Possible side effects include (but may not be limited to) vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite.

Bleeding may occur in some animals taking this medication, though this is considered unlikely.

Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet shows any signs of bleeding or anemia while taking this medication. These signs may include bruising; difficulty breathing; extreme fatigue; pale gums; vomit that appears bloody or has a “coffee grounds” appearance; bloody urine; or black, tarry stools.

Notify your veterinarian if your pet experiences any of the effects described above, or if you notice any other side effects that are persistent or troublesome.

If you notice anything unusual, please consult your veterinarian.

Precautions

Do NOT administer this medication to animals with active bleeding disorders or inherited platelet disorders (thrombocytopathies).

Use with caution in animals that require surgery; this medication may need to be discontinued temporarily prior to the procedure.

Safe use of this medication has not been established and should be used with caution in breeding, pregnant, or lactating animals. Discuss the risks of using this medication with your veterinarian if your pet is in one of these groups.

Do not administer to animals with a known history or suspected allergy/hypersensitivity to this medication or any of its ingredients. Allergic reactions to medications may occur. Be sure to inform Vetsource and your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies.

If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, discontinue therapy and call your veterinarian immediately or seek emergency veterinary attention. Symptoms may include (but are not limited to): swollen lips, tongue, face, or airways; difficulty breathing; agitation; profuse salivation; and widespread hives or itching.
