Bleeding is the most frequent reaction that occurs during the first month of taking the drug. Cases of severe bleeding are documented in patients taking clopidogrel simultaneously with ASA or with ASA and heparin (see Fig.See "Precautions for Use").
The frequency of side effects is determined according to the following definitions: often (> 1/100 - <1/10), infrequently (> 1/1 000 - <1/100) and rarely (> 1/10 000 - <1/1 000), very rarely corresponds (<1/10 000).
From the central nervous system: infrequently - headache, dizziness and paresthesia, intracranial hemorrhage; rarely - systemic dizziness; very rarely - hallucinations, confusion, a disorder of taste sensations.
From the gastrointestinal tract: often - gastrointestinal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain, indigestion; infrequently - a stomach ulcer, a duodenal ulcer, a gastritis, a vomiting, a nausea, a constipation, a meteorism; rarely - retroperitoneal hemorrhages; very rarely - pancreatitis, colitis (including ulcerative or lymphocytic colitis), stomatitis, acute liver failure, hepatitis, abnormal liver function tests, gastrointestinal bleeding and retroperitoneal hemorrhages with fatal outcome.
From the side of the vascular system and the organs of hematopoiesis: often - hematoma; infrequently - an increase in bleeding time and a decrease in the number of platelets (thrombocytopenia),leukopenia, eosinophilia; rarely - neutropenia, including severe; very rarely vasculitis, lowering of arterial pressure, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (see "Precautions for use"), expressed thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, granulocytopenia, aplastic anemia / pancytopenia, anemia, severe bleeding, bleeding in the operating wound.
From the skin: often - a bruise; infrequently - skin rash, skin itch, bleeding in the skin (purpura); very rarely angioedema, bullous dermatitis (erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis), urticaria, erythematous rash, eczema and flatulence.
On the part of the respiratory system: often - epistaxis; very rarely - bronchospasm, interstitial pneumonitis, bleeding from the respiratory tract (hemoptysis, pulmonary hemorrhage).
From the musculoskeletal system: very rarely - arthralgia, arthritis, myalgia, hemarthrosis.
From the side of the urinary system: infrequently - hematuria; very rarely - glomerulonephritis, increased serum creatinine.
Allergic reactions: very rarely - anaphylactoid reactions, serum sickness.
Other: often bleeding at injection sites; infrequently - eye hemorrhages, including conjunctivitis, in the tissues of the eye; very rarely - a fever.
