Here is the some steps to help you to save money on Zillt purchase.


Read drug prescription

It is very important to know about what medicine is given by the doctor, for what condition, and when it needs to be taken in what dose. This information given by the doctor is called Prescription. The patients should be familiar with the medicine prescription, and the details about the medicine before purchasing it and using it. Some medications need not be prescribed by healthcare practitioners and can be purchased and used without prescription by the patients; these are called over-the-counter medications. Read the drug prescription information of Zillt before taking it.

What is Zillt

Zillt keeps the platelets in your blood from coagulating to prevent unwanted blood clots that can occur with certain heart or blood vessel conditions.
Zillt is used to prevent blood clots after a recent heart attack or stroke, and in people with certain disorders of the heart or blood vessels.
Zillt may also be used for purposes not listed in Zillt guide.

Zillt side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using Zillt and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Zillt dosing

Usual Adult Dose for Ischemic Stroke:

75 mg orally once a day with or without food.
Aspirin therapy should be initiated and continued in combination with Zillt.

Usual Adult Dose for Myocardial Infarction:

75 mg orally once a day with or without food.
Aspirin therapy should be initiated and continued in combination with Zillt.

Usual Adult Dose for Acute Coronary Syndrome -- Prophylaxis:

75 mg orally once a day with or without food.
Aspirin therapy should be initiated and continued in combination with Zillt.

Usual Adult Dose for Peripheral Arterial Disease:

75 mg orally once a day with or without food.
Aspirin therapy should be initiated and continued in combination with Zillt.

Usual Adult Dose for Acute Coronary Syndrome:

Unstable angina, non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction : Initial: 300 mg loading dose, followed by 75 mg once daily for at least 1 month and ideally up to 12 months (in combination with aspirin 75 to 162 mg once daily indefinitely).
ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI): 75 mg once daily (in combination with aspirin 162 to 325 mg initially, followed by 81 to 162 mg/day); Note: The CLARITY TIMI 28 study used a 300 mg loading dose of Zillt (with thrombolysis) demonstrating an improvement in the patency rate of the infarct related artery and reduction in ischemic complications. The duration of therapy was less than 28 days (usually until hospital discharge) unless non primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed.

Usual Adult Dose for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention:

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for UA/NSTEMI or STEMI:
Loading dose: 300 to 600 mg (600 mg may be preferred for early invasive strategy with UA/NSTEMI) given as early as possible before or at the time of PCI followed by 75 mg once daily. Note: If an initial loading dose of 300 mg was given prior to PCI, a supplemental loading dose of 300 mg (total loading dose: 600 mg) may be administered. For patients with UA/NSTEMI, it has been recommended that the loading dose be given at least 2 hours (or 24 hours in patients unable to take aspirin) prior to PCI.
Higher vs standard maintenance dosing: May consider a maintenance dose of 150 mg once daily for 6 days, then 75 mg once daily thereafter in patients not at high risk for bleeding; however, in another study, in patients with high on treatment platelet reactivity, the use of 150 mg once daily for 6 months did not demonstrate a difference in 6 month incidence of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal MI, or stent thrombosis compared to standard dose therapy (Price, 2011).
Duration of Zillt (in combination with aspirin) after stent placement: Premature interruption of therapy may result in stent thrombosis with subsequent fatal and nonfatal MI. With STEMI, Zillt for at least 12 months regardless of stent type (either bare metal or drug eluting stent) is recommended. With UA/NSTEMI, at least 12 months of Zillt is recommended in patients receiving a drug eluting stent (DES) unless the risk of bleeding outweighs the benefits. For bare metal stent (BMS) placement, at least 1 month and ideally up to 12 months duration is recommended unless the risk of bleeding outweighs the benefits; then, a minimum of 2 weeks is recommended. In either setting, a duration greater than 15 months may be considered in patients with DES placement. For patients without ongoing ACS, Zillt should be continued for at least 1 month (for BMS) or at least 12 months (for DES).

Usual Geriatric Dose for Acute Coronary Syndrome:

The American College of Chest Physicians recommends:
Patients over 75 years: 75 mg once daily for up to 28 days

Usual Pediatric Dose for Platelet Aggregation Inhibition:

Note: Safety and efficacy have not been established in pediatric patients; optimal dose is not known; limited dosing information is available; further pediatric studies are needed.
Neonates and Infants up to 2 years: 0.2 mg/kg once daily was found to achieve a mean inhibition of platelet aggregation similar to adults receiving the recommended dose. This dose comes from the PICOLO study which included pediatric patients with a systemic to pulmonary artery shunt, intracardiac or intravascular stent, Kawasaki disease, or arterial graft; 79% of patients received concomitant aspirin; patients less than 2 kg and those born at less than 35 weeks gestational age were excluded.
Children over 2 years of age: Optimal dose is not established; some centers use the following: Initial dose: 1 mg/kg once daily; titrate to response; in general, do not exceed adult dose.

Select the most affordable brand or generic drug

Generic drug is the basic drug with an active substance in it, and the name of the generic drug is same as active substance most of the times. Like Acetaminophen/Paracetemol is Generic name and it has different brand names like Tylenol, Acimol, Crocin, Calpol etc. All these Brand names contain the same Paracetemol, but the medications are manufactured by different companies, so the different brand names. Generic drug is always cheaper and affordable, and it can be replaced in place of brand name drug prescribed by the healthcare practitioner. The Generic medicine has same properties as branded medicine in terms of uses, indications, doses, side effects, so no need to worry on that. Just select the most affordable generic or branded medicine.
