Product Description.:
Aggrenox? (aspirin/extended release dipyridamole) 25 mg/200 mg capsules, a prescription medication, is approved to reduce the risk of stroke in patients who have had a stroke or a TIA. AGGRENOX contains aspirin. Like aspirin, AGGRENOX should be avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy and should not be used in children or teenagers because of the risk of Reye's syndrome. Patients with a history of stomach ulcers should avoid using aspirin. Because AGGRENOX contains aspirin, the risk of bleeding is increased and it may take longer to stop bleeding. Patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks every day should be aware of the bleeding risks involved with chronic, heavy alcohol use while taking aspirin. Headache and stomach discomfort are common AGGRENOX side effects.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
