Cardio Aspirin 100 mg Tablets are low-dose enteric-coated oral formulations of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) widely used as an antiplatelet agent to help reduce the risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. These tablets are formulated with an enteric coating to reduce gastric irritation and to allow the drug to be absorbed in the intestine, which is especially important in daily preventive use.

🧠 Mechanism of Action:

Acetylsalicylic acid irreversibly inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) in platelets, leading to reduced synthesis of thromboxane A₂ — a key promoter of platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. By inhibiting thromboxane A₂ production, low-dose aspirin reduces the propensity of platelets to clump together, thereby lowering the risk of clot formation in arteries. This makes it a foundational therapy in secondary prevention of heart disease.

💊 Form, Packaging & Administration:

This formulation is typically supplied as enteric-coated tablets containing 100 mg of acetylsalicylic acid per tablet. The enteric coating helps minimize direct gastric irritation and allows for more consistent absorption in the intestine. Tablets are packaged in blister packs suitable for daily oral dosing as prescribed by a clinician.

🩺 Primary Clinical Uses:

Secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (heart attack) in patients with established cardiovascular disease.

Reduction of risk for ischemic stroke in individuals at elevated thrombotic risk.

Adjunctive therapy in unstable angina and post-coronary intervention settings as part of guideline-based antiplatelet therapy.

⚠️ Important Safety & Precautions:

Aspirin therapy, even at low doses, carries risks including gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulceration, and hemorrhagic stroke, particularly in patients with a history of GI disease or bleeding disorders. Enteric-coated formulations may help mitigate, but do not eliminate, gastric side effects. Clinicians should assess bleeding risk, concomitant medications (e.g., anticoagulants/NSAIDs), and individual patient risk before initiating therapy.

🧰 Storage & Handling:

Store at controlled room temperature away from light and moisture. Protect tablets from extreme temperatures and handle according to standard pharmacy practices. Follow clinician recommendations and manufacturer labeling for dosing and special precautions.
