ASS AbZ PROTECT 100 mg gastric juice resistant tablet. 100 pieces
How does the active ingredient in the medication work?
The active ingredient has analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It blocks the production of certain messenger substances in the body, known as prostaglandins. These are significantly involved in the development of pain, fever, and inflammation.
Acetylsalicylic acid also affects blood clotting. The substance prevents blood platelets (thrombocytes) from clumping together, thus improving blood flow.
- The drug inhibits, among other things, the adhesion and clumping of blood platelets (thrombocytes) and thus prevents the formation of blood clots (thrombi) (platelet aggregation inhibition).
-
The drug is used
- in unstable angina pectoris (chest pain due to impaired blood flow in the coronary arteries) - as part of standard therapy
- in acute myocardial infarction - as part of standard therapy
- to prevent another heart attack after a first heart attack (for reinfarction prophylaxis)
- after operations or other interventions on arterial blood vessels (after arterial vascular surgical or interventional procedures, e.g. after aortocoronary vein bypass [ACVB], in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PTCA]).
- for the prevention of temporary insufficient blood flow in the brain (TIA: transient ischemic attacks) and cerebral infarctions after precursor stages (e.g. temporary paralysis of the face or arm muscles or temporary loss of vision) have occurred.
