Trombo ASS Enteric-Coated Tablets 100 mg – 30 pcs | Low-Dose Aspirin

Trombo ASS Enteric-Coated Tablets 100 mg – 30 pcs are a well-established antiplatelet medication used to support cardiovascular health and help reduce the risk of serious arterial blood clots. Each tablet contains 100 mg of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), a proven antithrombotic agent that inhibits platelet aggregation, thereby lowering the likelihood of thrombosis and its consequences such as heart attack and stroke. The enteric-coated formulation ensures that the tablet dissolves in the small intestine rather than the stomach, reducing direct irritation of the gastric mucosa and improving tolerability for long-term use.

Aspirin’s antiplatelet effect at low doses is a cornerstone of modern cardiovascular prevention strategies in adults who are at risk of arterial occlusive events. By modifying the activity of platelets and reducing their tendency to clump together, Trombo ASS supports smoother blood flow and lowers the risk of clot-related heart and vascular events.

How Trombo ASS Works

The active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in Trombo ASS irreversibly inhibits the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) enzyme in platelets. This action blocks the formation of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a signaling molecule that promotes platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. Because platelets lack the ability to regenerate COX-1 once it is inhibited, the antiplatelet effect lasts for the lifespan of the platelet (about 7–10 days), making once-daily dosing effective.

The enteric coating protects the stomach lining by delaying tablet dissolution until the drug reaches the more neutral pH environment of the small intestine. This helps decrease the risk of gastric irritation compared with non-coated aspirin, which is particularly important for patients on long-term antiplatelet therapy.

Indications

Trombo ASS 100 mg is chiefly used for cardiovascular risk reduction and antithrombotic therapy in adults. Common indications include:

• Prevention of myocardial infarction (heart attack) in people with coronary artery disease or angina pectoris.

• Secondary prevention after myocardial infarction to reduce the risk of recurrent events.

• Prevention of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA) in individuals with a history of such events.

• Supportive therapy after vascular procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and other revascularization procedures.

• Thrombosis prevention in patients with high cardiovascular risk profiles, including those with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking history, and advanced age.

Because of its antithrombotic action, Trombo ASS is often recommended as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular care plan that also includes lifestyle management and control of risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol.

Directions for Use

Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using Trombo ASS. Typically:

• Adults: Swallow 1 tablet once daily with a full glass of water.

• Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet; it is coated to protect the stomach and ensure proper absorption.

• Take with food or after a meal to further reduce the risk of stomach upset.

In emergency situations such as suspected acute myocardial infarction, healthcare professionals may recommend an appropriate high-dose immediate-release aspirin preparation (not this enteric-coated formulation) to initiate rapid antiplatelet effect. Long-term therapy uses the low 100 mg dose.

Safety and Precautions

Trombo ASS is usually used long-term, but it must be taken under medical guidance because aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding. Key safety considerations include:

• Hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a contraindication.

• People with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding should use caution, as aspirin can exacerbate these conditions even with enteric coating.

• Patients with bleeding disorders, severe liver or kidney impairment, or hemophilia should avoid aspirin unless directed by a physician.

• Asthma triggered by NSAIDs (aspirin-induced asthma) and aspirin triad (asthma, nasal polyposis, NSAID intolerance) are additional contraindications.

• Long-term use during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, is generally contraindicated due to risks to the fetus and bleeding complications.

• Children and adolescents with viral infections should not take aspirin due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but serious condition.

Possible Side Effects

Although low-dose aspirin therapy is commonly well tolerated, side effects can occur. The most notable include:

• Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, dyspepsia, heartburn, and abdominal discomfort. Rarely it can contribute to ulcers or GI bleeding.

• Increased bleeding tendency, including easy bruising and prolonged bleeding during injuries or surgery.

• Allergic reactions such as rash or respiratory symptoms in susceptible individuals.

• Rarely, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or dizziness at higher doses or with sensitivity.

Seek medical advice promptly if you experience unusual bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or symptoms of allergic reactions.

Storage and Handling

Store Trombo ASS tablets in a dry place protected from light at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C (77 °F). Keep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
