Product Introduction

Ecosprin 150mg Tablet is an antiplatelet drug belonging to the platelet aggregation inhibitors category, containing the active ingredient Aspirin. It is used to treat angina, heart attack, and stroke. This tablet is also used for arthritis, muscle aches, headaches, and menstrual cramps, and can lower high body temperatures associated with fever. This drug is widely used as an antiplatelet agent to reduce the risk of blood clot formation and prevent the recurrence of heart attacks or strokes in patients who have already experienced these conditions.

This drug should not be given to teenagers and children who have or are recovering from viral infections, particularly chickenpox or influenza. In these cases, it has been associated with developing Reye's syndrome, a serious condition affecting the liver and brain.

This medicine is primarily metabolised in the liver and eliminated through the kidneys. Patients with severe liver or kidney disease may have impaired clearance of this drug and an increased risk of toxicity. Therefore, caution is advised, and the dosage may need to be adjusted.

Ecosprin 150mg tablets can increase the risk of bleeding. Hence, it is contraindicated in patients with active bleeding conditions, such as bleeding ulcers, bleeding disorders, or recent haemorrhagic strokes.

Regarding fertility, this drug may temporarily affect fertility in women. However, the effect is generally reversible upon discontinuation of the medication. If patients have concerns regarding the effect of this drug on fertility, discussion with their healthcare professional is recommended.

Patients are advised to report any skin or hypersensitivity reactions to their healthcare provider and to seek medical emergency immediately if they experience any symptoms of a severe reaction.

This drug may trigger asthma or bronchospasms in patients who are sensitive to it. This condition is known as aspirin-induced asthma and mainly occurs in patients with a history of asthma or nasal polyps. If patients have any respiratory problems, they should inform their doctor before taking Ecosprin 150mg Tablet. The doctor will evaluate the specific condition and determine if this drug is safe or an alternative medication should be considered.

How it works

Ecosprin 150mg Tablet works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), specifically COX-1, which is involved in the production of thromboxane A2. Thromboxane A2 promotes platelet aggregation, which can lead to the formation of blood clots. By inhibiting thromboxane A2 production, it helps to prevent excessive platelet aggregation and reduces the risk of blood clot formation.
