xWhat Is Ascard Tablets 75mg?
Ascard Tablets 75mg contain low-dose Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) 75mg, made by Atco Laboratories, Pakistan. Low-dose aspirin is used long-term to prevent heart attacks and strokes in people at risk. Take only as advised by your doctor.
How It Works
At low dose, aspirin irreversibly blocks the COX-1 enzyme in platelets, reducing thromboxane production so platelets are less likely to clump and form clots in the arteries.
Uses
- Prevention of heart attack and stroke after a previous heart attack, angina, stroke or TIA
- After coronary stents or bypass surgery, often with another antiplatelet
- Other uses as decided by your doctor
Dosage
Usually one 75mg tablet once daily, with or after food, with water. Do not stop suddenly without advice if you have heart disease or a stent.
Side Effects
Indigestion, heartburn, nausea, easy bruising and prolonged bleeding from cuts. Serious: stomach ulcers or bleeding (black stools, vomiting blood), wheezing in aspirin-sensitive asthma, allergic reactions.
Precautions
Not for children under 16 (risk of Reye's syndrome), people with active stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders or aspirin allergy. Caution with other blood thinners, NSAIDs, steroids and SSRIs, and in kidney or liver disease. Tell your dentist or surgeon before procedures.
