Description
Composition.
The active substance is acetylsalicylic acid. One gastro-resistant tablet contains 100 mg of acetylsalicylic acid. The other ingredients are: lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal anhydrous silica, potato starch, talc, triacetin, methacrylic acid - ethyl acrylate copolymer (1:1) 30% dispersion.
Therapeutic indications.
Thrombo ASS contains the active substance acetylsalicylic acid, which acts against platelet aggregation at relatively low doses and thus reduces the formation of blood clots. By administering it in the form of gastro-resistant tablets, the adverse effects of acetylsalicylic acid on the stomach are reduced.
Thrombo ASS is indicated for:
- reducing the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) in patients with angina pectoris (severe chest pain),
- reducing the risk of coronary vessel occlusion (blockage) (heart vessels) after myocardial infarction,
- preventing coronary vessel thrombosis (clot formation) after vascular surgery, such as coronary bypass (surgery aimed at dilating the coronary arteries),
- preventing the recurrence of transient ischaemic attacks and cerebral infarction (caused when oxygen supply to a portion of the brain is completely or partially interrupted by a blood clot),
- preventing cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus at high cardiovascular risk (events affecting the heart or vascular system) such as angina pectoris (chest pain) or myocardial infarction.
Dosage and method of administration.
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
The following strengths of Thrombo ASS are available for individual dose adjustment: 50 mg, 75 mg, and 100 mg.
The recommended dose is:
Adults
- to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction in patients with angina pectoris: 75-150 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day.
- to reduce the risk of coronary vessel (heart vessel) occlusion after myocardial infarction: 75-150 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day.
- to prevent coronary vessel thrombosis after vascular surgery, such as coronary bypass: 75-150 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day
- to prevent the recurrence of transient ischaemic attacks and cerebral infarction: 50-300 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day
- to prevent cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus at high cardiovascular risk: 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day, 75 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day in special cases.
Gastro-resistant tablets must be swallowed whole, with a sufficient amount of liquid, during or after meals, at approximately the same time of day. Do not chew or divide Thrombo ASS gastro-resistant tablets, as this can destroy the protective coating of the tablet that protects the gastric mucosa.
Precautions.
Acetylsalicylic acid may cause Reye's syndrome when administered to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease that affects the brain and liver, and can be life-threatening. For this reason, Thrombo ASS should not be given to children under 16 years of age unless recommended by a doctor.
Before using Thrombo ASS, talk to your doctor or pharmacist:
- if you are allergic to other pain medications (pain relief medicines), anti-inflammatories, or medications used to treat rheumatism.
- if you have had high blood pressure or a heart condition (heart failure).
- if you have ever had gout.
- if you have heavy menstrual periods.
