About

It is used to treat heart attacks (acute myocardial infarction) within 12 hours of symptom onset. However, this medication carries a risk of excessive bleeding and must be administered by a doctor. Patients using heparin or aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) should inform their doctor before starting any new medication to reduce the risk of increased bleeding.

Individuals with brain disorders, bleeding disorders, high blood pressure, or kidney/liver conditions should exercise caution and consult their doctor before using Mirel 18mg injection. Inform your doctor if you have had major surgery in the past three months. Elderly patients aged 75 or older should seek medical advice before taking this medication.
