Drug uses
The drug should be prescribed to adult patients (aged over 16 years), except for cases of Kawasaki disease in infancy and childhood. Aggrenox is not usually recommended to pregnant and breastfeeding women unless absolutely necessary.
To protect tiny blood vessels in the brain, it is advised to use two Aggrenox pills a day orally. The drug should be taken with or without food at regular intervals. Sometimes a vasodilating effect of Aggrenox causes side effects (for example, headaches). Temporary reduction in dosage to one pill a day usually easily alleviates headache.

More information
Aggrenox is a combined drug, sustained-release, containing two active anti-platelet agents. Both active ingredients are slowly released in the stomach, immediately absorbed into the blood, and within 20-40 minutes dissociated into metabolites. The short half-life reduces the risk of adverse effects.
Storage
Keep anti-platelet agent Aggrenox at 25°C. Storage between 15° to 30°C is allowed.
Warnings

During use of Aggrenox pills, the consumption of anti-platelet agents and alcohol is recommended to be minimized. Aggrenox pills contain aspirin, which is advised to be taken with caution for people with intestinal mucosal break. Such medical conditions require the digestive tract to be regularly observed.
