Indications & Uses
Ecosprin 81 is indicated for:
Pharmacology
By reducing platelet aggregation, Aspirin inhibits the formation of thrombi on the arterial side of the circulation, where clots form through platelet aggregation and anticoagulants have little effect. Aspirin is the analgesic of choice for headache, transient musculoskeletal pain and dysmenorrhoea. It also has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties, which can be useful. Enteric-coated Aspirin reduces the intestinal disturbance and gastrointestinal ulceration associated with aspirin use.
