In short
In the European Union, prasugrel, co-administered with acetylsalicylic acid, is indicated for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing primary or delayed percutaneous coronary intervention. In the United States, prasugrel is a platelet inhibitor indicated to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular events, including stent thrombosis, in patients with acute coronary syndrome who are to be managed with percutaneous coronary intervention. These indications in both regions apply to patients with unstable angina, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, or ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when managed with either primary or delayed PCI ( 1.1 ). 1.1 Acute Coronary Syndrome Prasugrel tablet is indicated to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular (CV) events (including stent thrombosis) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are to be managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as follows: Patients with unstable angina (UA) or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when managed with primary or delayed PCI. Prasugrel tablet has been shown to reduce the rate of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke compared to clopidogrel. The difference between treatments was driven predominantly by MI, with no difference on strokes and little difference on CV death [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
