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.
Initiate Effient treatment as a single 60-mg oral loading dose and then continue at 10-mg orally once daily. Patients taking Effient should also take aspirin (75-mg to 325-mg) daily [see Drug Interactions (7.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
