Overview

USES: Vorapaxar is used to help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people who have had a heart attack or have poor blood flow (peripheral arterial disease). It works by blocking certain blood cells called platelets from sticking together and forming harmful blood clots. Harmful blood clots can cause heart attacks, strokes, and other serious problems.

This "anti-platelet" effect helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body.
