ASCARD PLUS ( Acetylsalicylic Acid + Clopidogrel)

Ascard Plus is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: acetylsalicylic acid (also known as aspirin) and clopidogrel.

– **Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin):** Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antiplatelet properties. It helps to prevent blood clot formation by inhibiting the action of platelets, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

– **Clopidogrel:** Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication that works by blocking the action of certain substances in the blood that cause platelets to stick together and form clots. It is used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, or recent heart attack or stroke.

Ascard Plus is typically prescribed to individuals who are at high risk of cardiovascular events, such as those with a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. It helps to prevent blood clot formation and maintain blood flow through the arteries.

It’s important to note that Ascard Plus should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as it may interact with other medications and have potential side effects. It is typically taken once daily, as directed by a doctor.
