About Bivastat 250Mg Inj

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.

Bivastat 250Mg Inj will be administered by your doctor. So, do not self-administer. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your doctor based on your health condition. Bivastat 250Mg Inj may cause certain side effects such as nose bleeds, skin rash, bleeding in the bowels, blood in urine, low haemoglobin, thrombocytopenia (low platelets), hypersensitivity reactions, and elevations of liver enzyme levels. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Bivastat 250Mg Inj should not be used if you are allergic to it or if you ever had a brain stroke, bleeding in the brain or transient ischemic attack (stroke). Talk to your doctor before receiving Bivastat 250Mg Inj if you have/had a recent severe injury or surgery due to the risk of severe bleeding problems, have/had a heart problem, kidney disease or using any blood thinner medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should inform the doctor before receiving this medicine. Bivastat 250Mg Inj is not recommended for children as efficacy and safety have not been established.
