Thrombo ASS 100 mg – Antiplatelet & Cardiovascular Support, 100 Tablets

Indications:
Thrombo ASS contains the active substance acetylsalicylic acid, which acts against platelet aggregation at relatively low doses and thus reduces the formation of blood clots. By administering it in the form of gastro-resistant tablets, the side effects of acetylsalicylic acid on the stomach are reduced.
Thrombo ASS is indicated for:
- reducing the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) in patients with angina pectoris (severe chest pain),
- reducing the risk of occlusion (blockage) of the coronary vessels (heart vessels) after myocardial infarction,
- preventing coronary thrombosis (clot formation) after vascular surgery, for example coronary bypass (surgical operation to dilate the coronary arteries),
- preventing the recurrence of transient ischemic attacks and cerebral infarction (occurring when the oxygenation of a portion of the brain is totally or partially interrupted by a blood clot),
- preventing cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus at high cardiovascular risk (events affecting the heart or vascular system) such as angina pectoris (chest pain) or myocardial infarction.

Contraindications:
- hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid, other salicylates or to any of the excipients.

Precautions:
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Thrombo ASS.
