Bivastat 250Mg Inj belongs to the group of medicines called blood thinners used to prevent the formation of blood clots. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful for stopping bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs. Bivastat 250Mg Inj is used in combination with aspirin during Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (angioplasty procedures) in unstable angina patients to reduce the chance of blood clot formation.
Bivastat 250Mg Inj contains Bivalirudin, which works by inhibiting the production of fibrin (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot), preventing blood clot formation. This results in lower cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other severe chest pain-related problems.
