About this active substance
Acetylsalicylic acid + dipyridamole is a combination medication primarily used for the prevention of ischemic strokes in patients who have already experienced such an event or are at high risk. This combination works by preventing blood clot formation and improving blood flow to the brain.
Acetylsalicylic acid acts as an antiplatelet agent, reducing the ability of platelets to form clots, while dipyridamole enhances its effect by inhibiting adenosine uptake, leading to blood vessel dilation and a reduced risk of thrombosis.
Side effects may include headaches, dizziness, gastric irritation, nausea, or an increased risk of bleeding. It is important for patients to follow their doctor’s instructions and inform the specialist about any pre-existing conditions or medications, as this combination may interact with other treatments.
