How does Aspirin 300 work?

Aspirin 300 is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antiplatelet action. It prevents platelets from sticking together, reducing the formation of blood clots and lowering the risk of heart attack or stroke.

• Helps prevent future heart attacks and clot-related strokes.
• Generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver disease.
• Inform your doctor if you experience unusual bleeding, ringing in the ears, or persistent nausea or vomiting.

Indication of Aspirin 300

Aspirin 300 is an antiplatelet medication primarily used to treat and prevent heart attacks, strokes, and angina (heart-related chest pain). It works by inhibiting the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, thereby reducing the risk of thrombotic events.

Pharmacology

Asprin 300 mg works by decreasing platelet aggregation, thereby inhibiting thrombus formation primarily on the arterial side of circulation. Thrombi are formed by platelet aggregation, and anticoagulants have limited effect in this area. It serves as the analgesic of choice for various conditions including headache, transient musculoskeletal pain, and dysmenorrhea. Additionally, Disprin 300 mg possesses anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties, which can be beneficial. The enteric coating of the tablets reduces the risk of intestinal disturbance and gastrointestinal ulceration associated with this medicine.
