Bleeding is the most frequent reaction that occurs during the first month of taking the drug. Cases of severe bleeding have been reported in patients taking clopidogrel simultaneously with ASA or clopidogrel with ASA and heparin (see section "Special instructions").
The frequency of side effects is determined according to the following definitions: very often more than 1/10, often more than 1/100 and less than 1/10, infrequently more than 1/1000 and less than 1/100,rarely - more than 1/10000 and less than 1/1000, very rarely - less than 1/10000, including isolated cases. Within each class of frequencies, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing severity.
On the part of the organs of hematopoiesis: infrequently - thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, eosinophilia; rarely - neutropenia, incl. expressed; very rarely - thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, anemia, incl. aplastic, pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, severe thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia.
From the nervous system: infrequently - headache, dizziness, paresthesia, intracranial bleeding, incl. with lethal outcome; very rarely - confusion, hallucinations, a taste disorder.
From the sense organs: infrequently - hemorrhage in the conjunctiva, eyes, retina; rarely - vertigo.
From the side of the cardiovascular system: often - hematoma; very rarely - heavy bleeding, bleeding from the operating wound, vasculitis, lowering blood pressure.
From the respiratory system: very often - nosebleeds; very rarely - bronchospasm, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary hemorrhage, hemoptysis.
From the digestive system: often - diarrhea, abdominal pain, indigestion, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract; infrequently - stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer, gastritis, vomiting, nausea, constipation, flatulence; rarely - retroperitoneal bleeding; very rarely - pancreatitis, colitis, incl. ulcerative or lymphocytic, stomatitis, acute hepatic insufficiency, hepatitis, a violation of functional liver tests, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract with lethal outcome.
From the skin: often - subcutaneous hemorrhage; infrequently - skin rash, itching, purpura; very rarely - angioedema, urticaria, erythematous rash, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, eczema, lichen planus.
From the musculoskeletal system: very rarely - hemarthrosis, arthritis, arthralgia, myalgia.
From the genitourinary system: infrequently - hematuria; very rarely - glomerulonephritis, hypercreatininaemia.
Allergic reactions: very rarely - anaphylactic reactions, serum sickness. Laboratory indicators: infrequently - lengthening the bleeding time, disturbing functional liver samples, increasing the concentration of the creatinine of the blood.
Other: very rarely: fever.
