What is Effient?

Effient is a prescription medicine that helps stop blood clots forming in your body. It’s prescribed to adults who have

• Had a heart attack or severe chest pain caused by their heart not getting enough oxygen
• And who have previously been treated with a procedure called an angioplasty, sometimes called a balloon angioplasty

After you’ve had an angioplasty, or if you’ve previously had a blood clot that’s affected your heart, you may be prescribed Effient. You swallow the medication as a tablet. It helps to prevent blood clots from forming, by stopping your blood platelets (the substance in your blood that causes clotting) from sticking together. 

Effient active ingredients

The active ingredient in Effient is called prasugrel. It’s a platelet inhibitor drug that helps prevent blood clots by stopping your platelets clumping together. Prasugrel works by attaching itself to platelets in your blood. It binds to areas on the surface of the platelets called P2Y12 receptors. These receptors help your platelets stick together, but when prasugrel binds to the receptors, it stops them from working and prevents your platelets from clumping. Prasugrel stops your platelets clumping faster, more consistently, and to a greater extent than other similar medications that contain clopidogrel.

Effient side effects & Effient drug interactions

The most common Effient side effects include:

• An increased risk of bleeding 
• Bleeding that takes a long time to stop, including nose bleeds, bleeding from your genitals, coughing up blood, and vomiting blood
• An increase in bruising

Effient can cause more serious, but rarer, side effects, including:

• An increased risk of serious and fatal bleeding 
• Severe allergic reactions to the medication
• A condition called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) where blood clots can form in any of your blood vessels, causing organ damage that can be fatal

Your doctor will assess your risk of side effects against the benefits of taking Effient.

Effient can interact with other medications, including:

• Any other medications taken to prevent or treat blood clots
• Warfarin (in Coumadin and Jantoven)
• Any medications that contain heparin
• Any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen or naproxen
