Aspisol 75 Tablet 30's

Aspisol 75 Tablet belongs to the group of antiplatelet agents used for the prevention of stroke and heart attack which occur due to a cessation of blood supply. Heart attack/myocardial infarction is a condition in which the heart does not receive an adequate level of blood supply due to the formation of clots along the way which prevents the free flow of blood. A stroke is an interruption to the blood supply reaching the brain, thereby preventing brain tissue from receiving enough oxygen and nutrients. 

Aspisol 75 Tablet contains ‘’Aspirin and Glycine.’’ Aspirin helps in dissolving clots, which are formed by the clumping together of blood cells called platelets. It helps in reducing the risk of blood clot formation, thereby ensuring seamless and free flow of blood. Glycine, an amino acid helps prevent damage to the stomach lining and acid build-up, thereby lowering the harmful effects of aspirin. Together, Aspisol 75 Tablet helps prevent heart attack and stroke.

Aspisol 75 Tablet is a prescription-only medicine. It may be taken with or without food. Aspisol 75 Tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. In some cases, Aspisol 75 Tablet may cause certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, indigestion, easy bleeding and bruising.

Aspisol 75 Tablet is a combination drug that works as an anti-platelet and helps in dissolving blood clots, thereby easing the free flow of blood. It hence finds application in disorders that occur due to an interruption of blood supply, like heart attack, stroke and angina. Aspisol 75 Tablet contains Aspirin and Glycine. Aspirin inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX enzyme). COX is responsible for catalysing the formation of inflammatory mediators called prostaglandins, and clotting agents called thromboxanes. By inhibiting COX, aspirin suppresses the formation of clotting agents thromboxanes, which would otherwise lead to blood clots. Thereby, aspirin works as a potential blood-thinner, helping blood flow normally and in a fluid manner. Glycine is an essential aminoacid, which has a cardioprotective role. It helps in building the health of cardiac tissue and in enhancing remodelling. It also protects the heart from pressure overload. Thus, Aspisol 75 Tablet finds widespread application in the prevention of heart attack, stroke and angina.
