Ecosprin 75/10 Mg

Ecosprin 75/10 mg is a medication that combines two active ingredients: aspirin (75 mg) and dipyridamole (10 mg). Here's a brief description of each component:

1. Aspirin (75 mg): Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is often used to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. In this formulation, it's primarily used for its antiplatelet effect, which helps prevent blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

2. Dipyridamole (10 mg): Dipyridamole is an antiplatelet agent that works by inhibiting the uptake of adenosine, thereby reducing platelet aggregation. It is often used in combination with aspirin to enhance the overall antiplatelet effect.

Uses: Ecosprin 75/10 mg is commonly prescribed for the prevention of strokes and heart attacks, particularly in patients with a history of cardiovascular events or those at high risk for such events. It may also be used in patients with certain heart conditions to prevent the formation of blood clots.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, abdominal pain, and bleeding. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding or bruising.

Precautions: Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any existing conditions, particularly bleeding disorders, or if they are taking other medications that may increase bleeding risk.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and consult them for more specific information about this medication.
