Q. Can you drink alcohol while taking Prax A 75 Capsule?

It is not advised to take alcohol while taking Prax A 75 Capsule, as alcohol may increase your chance of stomach bleeding.

Q. Do I need to stop Prax A 75 Capsule before surgery?

Your doctor will decide whether you need to stop taking Prax A 75 Capsule before any surgery or treatment or not. Usually, if a surgery or treatment is planned beforehand, the doctor may stop Prax A 75 Capsule a few days (usually 7 days) before the surgery or treatment owing to the increased risk of bleeding during the procedure.

Q. What is the most important information I need to know about Prax A 75 Capsule?

Prax A 75 Capsule may cause serious or life-threatening bleeding. Moreover, you may bruise easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop even if you have a minor injury such as a small cut while shaving. Get emergency medical help if you notice excessive or prolonged bleeding. You should inform your doctor if you notice black tarry stools or if there is blood in the urine. Be vigilant on any signs of stroke such as sudden numbness or weakness (one side or both sides of the body), difficulty walking, mental confusion, slurred speech, dizziness and any unexplained headache. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop any such signs of stroke as stroke is an uncommon side effect of Prax A 75 Capsule and needs urgent medical attention as it can otherwise be fatal.

Q. Who should not take Prax A 75 Capsule?

Prax A 75 Capsule is not recommended for people who are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Do not take Prax A 75 Capsule if you have or ever had severe liver disease, stomach ulcers, bleeding in the brain (stroke or a transient ischemic attack, also known as TIA), or if you have a bleeding disorder known as hemophilia (disease in which blood does not clot normally). Additionally, avoid taking Prax A 75 Capsule if you are trying to get pregnant, already pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Prax A 75 Capsule?

If you have missed a dose of Prax A 75 Capsule, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Q. How long do I need to take Prax A 75 Capsule after stent insertion?

The exact duration of taking Prax A 75 Capsule will be decided by your doctor after considering various factors like the illness you are being treated for, type of stent inserted, any episodes of bleeding experienced by you during treatment etc. Usually, it is prescribed for a minimum duration of 1 year. However, follow your doctor's advice precisely to get maximum benefit of Prax A 75 Capsule. Discuss with your doctor before stopping the medication, as sudden discontinuation may increase the chances of clot formation in the stent, heart attack, and can even lead to death.

Q. What should I avoid while taking Prax A 75 Capsule?

Avoid activities that may increase your chances of bleeding. Be extra careful while shaving or brushing your teeth to prevent bleeding. You should avoid taking painkillers, but if you need to take one like ibuprofen for joint pain, headache, backache etc, then consult your doctor first. This is because taking pain killers with Prax A 75 Capsule may increase your chances of developing a stomach ulcer and bleeding. Refrain from taking excessive alcohol with Prax A 75 Capsule as it can irritate your stomach and lead to a stomach ulcer as well.
