Sažetak
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major problem for healthcare systems, as it is the cause of a large number of hospitalisations every year. Moreover, as ACS may be a life-threatening condition, timely decisions on pharmacological management as well as coronary revascularisation strategies are needed. Clopidogrel has a strong evidence base supporting its use as an effective and well tolerated antiplatelet agent for the secondary prevention of ischemic events in patients with various cardiovascular conditions, including those with ACS. An evidence base demonstrating the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet therapy has also been established for Zyllt® (Krka's clopidogrel) in many post-authorisation safety and efficacy studies. The studies yielded important results and an extensive data base, which is not available for any other generic clopidogrel. The high efficacy and good safety as well as the reasonable price of Krka’s clopidogrel could undoubtedly contribute to a better compliance with the treatment in more patients with ACS.
