Thrombo ASS 100 Gastro-Resistant Tablets – Antiplatelet Cardiovascular Treatment

Indications:
Thrombo ASS contains the active substance acetylsalicylic acid, which inhibits platelet aggregation at relatively low doses, thereby reducing blood clot formation. Administration in the form of gastro-resistant tablets reduces the adverse effects of acetylsalicylic acid on the stomach.
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 coronary vessel occlusion (blockage) following myocardial infarction,
- preventing coronary thrombosis (clot formation) after vascular surgery, such as coronary bypass (surgery to widen coronary arteries),
- preventing the recurrence of transient ischemic attacks and cerebral infarction (caused when oxygen supply to a part of the brain is totally or partially interrupted by a blood clot),
- preventing cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus who are 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 any of the excipients.

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

The recommended dose is:
Adults
- to reduce the risk of heart attack in patients with angina pectoris: 75–150 mg acetylsalicylic acid daily.
- to reduce the risk of coronary artery (heart vessel) occlusion after a heart attack: 75–150 mg acetylsalicylic acid daily.
- to prevent coronary artery thrombosis after vascular surgery, e.g., coronary bypass: 75–150 mg acetylsalicylic acid daily.
- to prevent the recurrence of transient ischemic attacks and cerebral infarction (stroke): 50–300 mg acetylsalicylic acid daily.
- to prevent cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus at high cardiovascular risk: 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid daily; 75 mg acetylsalicylic acid daily in special cases. The gastro-resistant tablets must be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of liquid, during or after meals, at approximately the same time each day.
