INTRODUCTION

DELISPRIN 75MG contains Aspirin which is an Antiplatelet agent. It prevents the formation of blood clots in the body and reduce the risk of its associated conditions (like heart attack or stroke) in patients. Blood clots (also known as thrombosis) are formed in the body due to excessive clumping of tiny blood cells called platelets at a particular region in a blood vessel (artery or vein). These blood clots can happen in any blood vessels supplying major organ (like heart and brain) and usually stops or reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the organs, leading to various thrombotic problems like heart attack, angina, or stroke. DELISPRIN 75MG can also be used to prevent the risk of heart attack and stroke among patients who have recently undergone a by-pass surgery.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory medicine with antiplatelet effects. It reduces the formation of blood clot by preventing platelets (tiny blood cells that are involved in blood clot formation) from clumping together in the blood vessels.
