Indications

Acetylsalicylic acid Krka contains acetylsalicylic acid, which, when used in low doses, belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets (blood platelets) are small blood cells that cause blood to clot and are involved in thrombosis. When a blood clot forms in an artery, it stops blood flow and cuts off the oxygen supply. When this happens in the heart, it can cause a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or an episode of angina pectoris; in the brain, it can cause a stroke.

Acetylsalicylic acid Krka is administered to reduce the risk of blood clots forming, thereby preventing the subsequent occurrence of:

• myocardial infarction
• strokes
• cardiovascular problems in patients diagnosed with stable or unstable angina pectoris (a type of chest pain).

Acetylsalicylic acid Krka is also used to prevent the formation of blood clots after certain types of heart surgery aimed at widening or unblocking blood vessels.

The decision to initiate treatment and the appropriate dosage must be made by a physician.

This medicine is not recommended in emergency situations. It can only be used as a preventive treatment.
