Ecosprin 150 Tablet

Ecosprin 150 Tablet contains aspirin 150 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the salicylate group of medicines and is commonly used as an antiplatelet drug to help reduce the risk of blood clots. Doctors may prescribe Ecosprin 150 Tablet for certain heart and blood vessel conditions, such as after a heart attack or for long-term clot prevention when a lower dose is not enough.

How it works: Aspirin in Ecosprin 150 Tablet makes platelets less sticky, so they are less likely to clump together and form a clot. Because it is a tablet, it delivers the 150 mg dose in a simple oral form that is easy to take as directed.

Ecosprin 150 Tablet is a mid-strength aspirin tablet, stronger than Ecosprin 75 Tablet but lower than Ecosprin 325 Tablet. This strength may be chosen when a doctor wants more platelet-blocking effect than low-dose aspirin, while still avoiding the higher exposure of a 325 mg tablet.

• Prevention of blood clots
• Secondary prevention after heart attack
• Reducing risk of stroke in selected patients
• Prevention of clot-related heart complications
• Doctor-directed antiplatelet therapy

• Swallow Ecosprin 150 Tablet with water unless your doctor tells you to use it differently.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, since this 150 mg strength is not the same as a low-dose 75 mg tablet.
• Try to take it at the same time each day if your doctor has advised once-daily use.
• Take it with food or after food if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor has specifically told you to do so.
• Avoid changing the dose on your own, because aspirin can increase bleeding risk if taken incorrectly.

Each Ecosprin 150 Tablet provides aspirin 150 mg. The dose may be taken once daily or in another schedule only if your doctor has specifically prescribed it, and the total amount in 24 hours should not exceed the dose your prescriber recommends.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
