About Arreno Capsule

Arreno Capsule belongs to the class of ‘anticoagulants’ used to prevent stroke who have had blood clots or had a mini-stroke. Stroke, also called cerebrovascular (CV) or brain stroke, occurs due to insufficient blood supply to the brain. It causes a decrease in oxygen and nutrient supply to the brain, impairing the function of the brain. This condition requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent brain damage.

Arreno Capsule contains Aspirin and Dipyridamole. Aspirin is a blood thinner. It has antithrombotic action that interferes with platelet functioning and does not let them stick together. Dipyridamole is an anticoagulant agent. It prevents the platelets from sticking together, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots. Together, Arreno Capsule can effectively reduce the risk of stroke. 

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Arreno Capsule are headache, dizziness, heartburn, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These side-effects usually don’t require medical attention. However, if any of these side-effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Arreno Capsule if you are allergic to aspirin, dipyridamole, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It should not be used in patients with asthma, rhinitis (stuffy nose), and nasal polyps (painless, benign growths on the nose's linings). It is also not recommended for children younger than 16 years of age with a fever, flu, or viral infections. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Arreno Capsule may require dose adjustments when used in elderly people. Do not consume alcohol as it increases the risk of side-effects. Arreno Capsule may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you are not fully alert.

Drug Warnings

Before taking Arreno Capsule , inform your doctor if you have stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, heart problems, hypotension (low blood pressure), and myasthenia gravis (a muscle disorder).
