How Does It Work?

• Ecosprin 150 is an antiplatelet medicine. It inhibits the action of an enzyme, which makes platelets aggregate together to form a blood clot. When clot formation occurs in blood vessels, blood flow is obstructed or blocked, which is dangerous in heart attack cases and leads to stroke or chest pain (angina).
• In low doses, aspirin stops these platelets from forming a clot so that blood flows without obstruction in the arteries.

Interactions with other medicines

• Certain medicines can affect the way Ecosprin 150 works, or this medicine itself can alter the action of other medicines taken along. Inform your doctor about your complete medication history.
• Especially if you are taking steroids, painkillers, antacids, medicines for heart and brain-related disorders, and immunomodulators.
• Concomitant use of methotrexate (used to treat certain types of cancer) with aspirin must be avoided.
• Aspirin reverses the effect of probenecid (used to treat gout). Hence, this combination must be avoided.
• Other anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents must be used cautiously with aspirin due to the risk of bleeding.
• Aspirin increases the blood-glucose-lowering effect of certain antidiabetics. Hence, it must be used cautiously.
• Aspirin may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effect of antihypertensive medicines like water pills. Inform the doctor.
