Clopidogrel 75mg + Aspirin 75mg

Description

Ecosprin Plus is a dual antiplatelet medication containing Clopidogrel (75mg) and Aspirin (75mg), used to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots in patients with cardiovascular diseases. It works by preventing platelet aggregation, ensuring smooth blood flow, and reducing the chances of clot formation in arteries.

Benefits

Ecosprin Plus is highly effective in preventing secondary cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. It reduces the risk of clot formation, lowers the chances of repeated cardiac issues, and helps maintain healthy blood circulation in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) or a history of heart disease.

Ingredients

Each tablet of Ecosprin Plus contains:

• Clopidogrel (75mg): A P2Y12 inhibitor that prevents platelet aggregation and blood clot formation.
• Aspirin (75mg): A cyclooxygenase inhibitor (COX-1) that reduces platelet aggregation by inhibiting thromboxane A2.

Uses and Doses

Ecosprin Plus is used for:

• Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), Unstable Angina (UA), Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
• Prevention of stroke, recent heart attack, or established Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
  The usual dose is one tablet daily, taken orally with or without food.

Side Effects

Ecosprin Plus is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, bleeding disorders, nausea, dizziness, stomach ulcers, or bruising. In rare cases, it may cause intracranial bleeding or severe allergic reactions.

How to Use

Take one tablet daily, preferably at the same time every day. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet. Avoid alcohol and NSAIDs while using this medication.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Ecosprin Plus should only be used in the first and second trimesters. It is contraindicated in the third trimester due to the risk of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. Aspirin is excreted in breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should discontinue the drug or consult a doctor.

Precautions and Warnings

Patients with a history of peptic ulcers, bleeding disorders, liver or kidney impairment, or recent surgeries should use Ecosprin Plus with caution. It should be discontinued at least 5-7 days before surgery to minimize bleeding risk.

Safety Information

Without medical advice, avoid using Ecosprin Plus with other blood thinners, NSAIDs, or CYP2C19 inhibitors. Patients experiencing unusual bleeding, black stools, or severe bruising should seek immediate medical attention.

Indications

Ecosprin Plus is indicated for:

• Reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with cardiovascular disease.
• Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), including Unstable Angina (UA) and Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI/STEMI).
• Prevention of clot formation in Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and post-surgical cardiac patients.

Pharmacology

Clopidogrel is a P2Y12 receptor antagonist that inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking ADP binding. Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), preventing thromboxane A2 synthesis and reducing clot formation. The combined effect significantly lowers the risk of cardiovascular events.

Therapeutic Class

Antiplatelet drugs

Storage Conditions
