Before taking Effient, it is important to be aware of certain warnings and precautions:

Bleeding Risk: Effient can increase the risk of bleeding, including serious and potentially life-threatening bleeding. It should be used with caution in patients who are at an increased risk of bleeding, such as those with a history of bleeding disorders, recent surgery, or trauma. Promptly report any signs of bleeding, such as unusual bruising, bleeding gums, or blood in the urine or stool, to a healthcare provider.

Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to Effient. Seek immediate medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction occur, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

Black Box Warning: Effient carries a black box warning, which is the strongest warning issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The warning highlights the increased risk of bleeding, particularly in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Effient should generally be discontinued at least 7 days prior to CABG surgery, unless the benefits outweigh the risks.

Other Precautions: Effient should be used with caution in patients with a history of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or intracranial hemorrhage. It should also be used cautiously in patients with severe liver disease or kidney disease.
