The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in neighbouring provinces, namely Shaanxi and Gansu.
Effient is similar to an older antiplatelet medication known as PlavixÂ® (clopidogrel). Effient is intended to be taken with aspirin. The two medications work together to prevent platelets from sticking together. Effient and aspirin are similar, but work on different types of receptors on the platelets.
But the new drug, prasugrel (Effient), is also more likely to cause potentially fatal bleeding. Overall, prasugrel may be superior to the approved dose of the older drug, clopidogrel (Plavix), in many cases. But more doctors have been using an initial, higher-than-standard dose of clopidogrel to boost its efficacy, and how that regimen stacks up against prasugrel on key clinical outcomes is unclear.
