ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid tablets
Active ingredient: acetylsalicylic acid.
Unstable angina pectoris (heart pain due to circulatory disorders in the coronary arteries) - as part of standard therapy. Acute myocardial infarction - as part of standard therapy. Prevention of another heart attack after the first heart attack (reinfarction prophylaxis). After operations or other interventions on arterial blood vessels (after arterial vascular surgery or interventional procedures, e.g. after aortocoronary vein bypass ACVB, in the case of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty PTCA). Prevention of temporary insufficient blood circulation in the brain (TIA: transient ischemic attacks) and cerebral infarctions after previous stages (e.g. temporary paralysis of the face or arm muscles or temporary loss of vision) have occurred.

Heart attacks and strokes are the most common causes of death in Germany. Blood clots are one of the causes of heart attacks and circulatory disorders. These clots are often caused by the sticking together and clumping of blood platelets called thrombocytes. A blood clot (called a blood clot) can form in a blood vessel or on the heart. As a result, these plugs hinder the blood flow on the one hand, and on the other hand they can loosen and be carried away with the blood flow. ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid can be used as a blood thinner and is therefore used as part of standard therapy for unstable angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction. As a prophylactic against re-infarction, after operations or other interventions on arterial blood vessels,
Thins the blood
Numerous messenger substances, the prostaglandins, are involved in the development of pain and inflammation, but also in the clumping process of the blood platelets. So-called cyclooxygenases are responsible for the formation of the prostaglandia. The active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid inhibits these enzymes and thus has an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. Due to the low-dose active ingredient, this drug is unsuitable for the treatment of painful conditions and as a fever-lowering, since prostaglandins, which are formed via these cycloogygenases, can no longer be synthesized. By inhibiting cyclooxygenases, the neurotransmitter thromboxane A2 (also a prostaglandin), which increases the tendency of blood platelets to clump and constricts blood vessels, is not formed. This is how the active ingredient comes
RECOMMENDED acetylsalicylic acid USE:
The tablets are swallowed whole after meals with plenty of liquid. ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid tablets should not be taken on an empty stomach. The following dosages are recommended:
- For unstable angina pectoris: 1 tablet ASS AL 100 TAH (equivalent to 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day) as part of the standard therapy .
- For acute myocardial infarction: 1 tablet of ASS AL 100 TAH (equivalent to 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day) as part of the standard therapy.
- For pure infarction prophylaxis: ASS AL 100 TAH tablets 3 times a day (equivalent to 300 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day).
- After operations or other interventions on arterial blood vessels: 1 tablet ASS AL 100 TAH (equivalent to 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day). After aortocoronary venous bypass, the most favorable time to start treatment with ASS AL 100 TAH seems to be 24 hours after the operation.
- For the prevention of temporary insufficient blood flow in the Gehrin (TIA) and cerebral infarcts after previous stages have occurred: 1 tablet ASS AL 100 TAH (equivalent to 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day).
Note: For the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, the 1st tablet should be chewed or chewed.
The practicing doctor will decide about the length of the treatments. ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid is basically intended for long-term use. Detect thrombosis & risk groups
The most common thromboses are found in the blood vessels of the pelvic and leg veins. This is shown by a feeling of tension or heaviness in the legs. The skin may discolor or feel warmer. Swelling and pain may also occur. People have an increased risk of thrombosis if they lie down for a long time, for example during a hospital stay, if they have cancer or if they have an inherited tendency to thrombosis. A changed hormone balance due to pregnancy, the birth control pill or hormone preparations for menopausal symptoms can also promote thrombosis.
In old age
The heart is subject to an aging process. It is important to avoid known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, over the years, many people develop hardening of the arteries, which narrow the coronary arteries. As a result, there is insufficient blood flow to the heart and, as a result, a poorer oxygen supply. If cramping, constricting symptoms occur in the burst basket even with low stress or at rest, this is referred to as unstable angina pectoris. ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid can be used as part of the standard therapy for unstable angina pectoris.
Avoid risk factors
Many of the heart-related deaths are caused by risk factors. These risk factors include physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, smoking, an unbalanced diet, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and lipid metabolism disorders. The factors listed first impair the function of the vessel walls and favor high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries. The risk of cardiovascular diseases increases. Ultimately, the heart muscle is also affected and no longer adequately supplied with blood. These risk factors can be avoided by making lifestyle changes. Premature aging of the heart and blood vessels can be prevented.

Can ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid also be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
The inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis can negatively affect pregnancy and / or the development of the embryo. During the first and second trimesters of pregnancy and in women trying to conceive, ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid should only be given if absolutely necessary. The dose should be kept as low and the duration of treatment as short as possible. ASS AL 100 TAH acetylsalicylic acid must not be used during the third trimester of pregnancy.
