Uses
Prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
How it works
Tenectase 20mg Injection works by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation. It specifically blocks a receptor called P2Y12 on the platelets, preventing them from clumping together and forming blood clots. This helps reduce the risk of heart-related events in individuals with ACS.
How to Use
Tenectase 20mg Injection can be administered only as an intravenous injection into a vein by your physician in a hospital setting. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition.

Expert Tips
