About Aggrenox 200 mg/25 mg Capsule

Aggrenox 200 mg/25 mg 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.

Aggrenox 200 mg/25 mg 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, Aggrenox 200 mg/25 mg Capsule can effectively reduce the risk of stroke. 

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Aggrenox 200 mg/25 mg Capsule are headache, dizziness, heartburn, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
