TabletsClinical Overview
Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid, low-dose 75 mg - 150 mg) is the prototype antiplatelet agent on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It irreversibly acetylates serine 529 of platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), permanently suppressing the synthesis of thromboxane A2 (a potent platelet aggregator and vasoconstrictor) for the 7-10 day lifespan of the platelet. Gastro-resistant (enteric-coated) formulations protect the gastric mucosa by dissolving only in the neutral pH of the small intestine. Indicated for secondary prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and following coronary bypass or stent placement.

Usage Guidelines
Swallow gastro-resistant tablets whole with a full glass of water, with or after meals. Do not chew or crush enteric-coated tablets. Take once daily at approximately the same time each day.
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Dyspepsia, heartburn, nausea, minor bleeding, easy bruising. Rare/Severe: Gastrointestinal ulceration and major hemorrhage, hemorrhagic stroke, bronchospasm (aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease / Samter's triad), and Reye's syndrome in children.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Contraindicated in active peptic ulceration, bleeding disorders (hemophilia), severe renal/hepatic failure, and children/adolescents with viral infections (risk of fatal Reye's syndrome). Avoid concurrent NSAIDs which displace aspirin from COX-1 and increase bleeding risk.
Schedule H (Prescription Required)
This medication is scheduled under statutory drug regulatory frameworks (CDSCO / Drugs & Cosmetics Rules). Dispensing requires a valid medical prescription from a registered medical practitioner. Self-medication or unsupervised dosage adjustment carries significant clinical risks.

Aspirin Gastro-resistant Tablets 150 mg
Aspirin Gastro-Resistant Tablets (150mg) is an acetylated salicylate on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It irreversibly acetylates the serine 529 residue of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), permanently suppressing platelet thromboxane A2 (TXA2) generation for the entire lifespan of the platelet (7-10 days). Enteric coating bypasses the stomach to dissolve in the alkaline duodenum, minimizing direct contact gastric mucosal injury. Indicated for secondary prevention of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), and unstable angina.
Clopidogrel 75mg + Aspirin 75mg Tablets
Clopidogrel and Aspirin is the cornerstone Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Aspirin irreversibly acetylates platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), blocking thromboxane A2 production, while clopidogrel is an oral thienopyridine prodrug whose active metabolite irreversibly binds to platelet P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors, preventing ADP-mediated glycoprotein IIb/IIIa activation. This dual blockade potently inhibits platelet aggregation across complementary pathways. Indicated for acute coronary syndromes (STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina) and prevention of subacute stent thrombosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) Gastro-resistant Tablets 325mg
Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) Gastro-resistant Tablets 325mg is an evidence-based dermatological formulation. It acts by delivering targeted active therapeutic ingredients to cutaneous lesions to relieve skin pathology, restore barrier integrity, and manage dermatoses.
Aspirin Gastro-resistant 75mg + Atorvastatin 10mg Capsules
Statin and Antiplatelet (Aspirin +/- Clopidogrel) cardiovascular polypill formulation. Unites intensive lipid lowering and plaque stabilization (via HMG-CoA reductase inhibition) with antiplatelet thrombus prevention (via irreversible COX-1 inhibition and/or ADP P2Y12 platelet receptor blockade). Indicated for secondary prevention in coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI/stenting), and ischemic stroke.
