at Any intracranial hemorrhage or any clinically pronounced bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin ≥ 5 g / dl.
g Threatening lives - a subgroup of large bleeding by TIMI, which includes, among others, the types of bleeding presented below. Patients can be assigned to more than one group.
d Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
e Clinically marked bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin ≥ 3 g / dl, but <5 g / dl.
It was determined that patients with a body weight of less than 60 kg have a greater risk of bleeding when they receive prasugrel in a daily maintenance dose of 10 mg or receive clopidogrel in a daily maintenance dose of 75 mg in patients with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty than patients with a body weight greater than 60 kg.
Body mass | Prasugrel | Clopidogrel |
<60 kg | 1 0.1% (fatal 0%) | 6.5% (fatal 0.3%) |
≥ 60 kg | 4.2% (fatal 0.3%) | 3.3% (fatal 0.1%) |
When taking prasugrel in a daily maintenance dose of 10 mg or taking clopidogrel in a daily maintenance dose of 75 mg in patients with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty, the incidence of large and minor bleeding in TIMI not associated with CABG in two age groups was as follows:
Age | Prasugrel | Clopidogrel |
≥ 75 years | 9% (fatal 1.0%) | 6.9% (fatal 0.1%) |
<75 years | 3.8% (fatal 0.2%) | 2.9% (fatal 0.1%) |
Other clinical studies
In patients with IMBPT who took a loading dose of 30 mg on average 4 hours before coronary angiography and 30 mg during subsequent percutaneous coronary angioplasty,there was a higher risk of minor bleeding during non-CABG procedures and there were no additional benefits compared to patients taking a 60 mg loading dose during percutaneous coronary angioplasty.
Frequency of large and small bleedings by TIMI, not associated with CABG, in patients for 7 days was the following:

d Clinically pronounced bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin ≥ 3 g / dl, but <5 g / dl.
Patients with ACS who did not undergo percutaneous coronary angioplasty received prasugrel or clopidogrel in combination with acetylsalicylic acid.
In patients older than 75 years with a body weight of less than 60 kg, taking prasugrel in a maintenance dose of 5 mg per day on average for 15 months (a maximum of 30 months), frequency of large and small bleedings by TIMI, not associated with CABG in two weight categories was as follows:
Body mass | Prasugrel | Clopidogrel |
<60 kg | 1.4% (fatal 0.1%)a | 2.2% (fatal 0.3%)at |
> 60 kg | 2.2% (fatal 0.2%)b | 1.6% (fatal 0.2%)at |

b Maintenance dose of 10 mg; in patients older than 75 years, a maintenance dose of 5 mg.
at Maintenance dose of 75 mg.
Frequency of large and small bleedings by TIMI, not associated with CABG in two age groups was as follows:
Age | Prasugrel | Clopidogrel |

Bleeding associated with CABG
Frequency of major or minor bleeding according to classification TIMIassociated with CABG was 14.1% in patients taking prasugrel and 4.5% in patients taking clopidogrel. High risk of bleeding in participants who took prasugrel, remained until 7 days after the last dose of the study drug.

It was determined that patients who had previously had a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) with a standard prasugrel dosing regimen have a greater risk of developing a stroke or TIA than patients with no history of these diseases:
Postponed TIA or stroke | Prasugrel | Clopidogrel |
Yes | 6.5% (2.3% of the VCF *) | 1.2% (0% of the VCF *) |
No | 0.9% (0.2% of the VCK *) | 1.0% (0.3% of the VCF *) |
* Intracranial bleeding (VCK).
Spontaneous adverse reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, occurred at a frequency of> 0.01% and <0.1%. Thrombocytopenic purpura occurred at a frequency of <0.01%.
