About Actisprin 75mg Tablet

ASPIRIN belongs to the class of anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning/antiplatelet agents. Its use varies according to its strength. In a low dose (about 75 mg) ASPIRIN acts as a blood-thinning or antiplatelet agent used to prevent heart attack and stroke. On the other hand, in high dose (about 325 mg) acts as an analgesic relieving minor aches, pains and fevers. Your doctor may also prescribe ASPIRIN immediately after a heart attack to prevent further clots and heart tissue death. A heart attack generally refers to the blocked flow of blood due to blocked arteries. This blockage is due to the build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances (plaque) in arteries.

ASPIRIN acts as a blood thinner in a low dose for heart-related blood clot complications and analgesic or pain killer in high dose. ASPIRIN plays a vital role in the thinning of blood by its anti-platelet activity to decrease the risk of blood clot formation and subsequent heart attack. Low-dose aspirin makes the blood less sticky preventing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Besides this, it inhibits the activity of the cyclooxygenase (COX) and prostaglandins (PGs) that cause inflammation, swelling, pain and fever.
