Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) 75 mg + Clopidogrel 75 mg
Dual antiplatelet therapy for acute coronary syndrome, prevention of stent thrombosis after PCI, secondary prevention of heart attack and ischemic stroke when advised by cardiologist
Aspirin inhibits COX-1 and reduces thromboxane A2 formation, lowering platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel blocks platelet P2Y12 receptors; together they provide stronger clot prevention than either alone.
Take as prescribed, usually once daily with water, preferably after food to reduce gastric irritation; do not crush/chew unless advised; do not stop abruptly without cardiologist advice.

Higher bleeding risk with dual therapy; seek urgent care for severe headache, black stools, vomiting blood, or uncontrolled bleeding. Avoid in active peptic ulcer/bleeding, aspirin allergy, severe asthma triggered by NSAIDs, severe liver disease. Inform doctor before surgery/dental work.
