Cardiomagnyl Forte 150 mg Film‑Coated Tablets – 30 pcs | Antiplatelet

Cardiomagnyl Forte 150 mg Film‑Coated Tablets (Bottle of 30 pcs) are a cardiovascular medicine formulated to help prevent blood clot formation and support long‑term heart health in individuals at risk of thrombotic events such as heart attack, stroke and other ischemic cardiovascular complications. Each tablet combines 150 mg of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) with magnesium hydroxide, which helps protect the stomach lining from direct irritation often associated with aspirin therapy while maintaining effective antiplatelet action.

This dual‑action formulation is widely used in medical practice as part of primary and secondary prevention strategies against arterial thrombosis. Aspirin’s antiplatelet effects help reduce the risk of clots forming in the arteries by irreversibly inhibiting platelet aggregation, which supports smoother blood flow and lowers the likelihood of serious vascular events.

Cardiomagnyl Forte is commonly prescribed to adults with established cardiovascular disease or those with significant risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity and older age. When used as directed by a healthcare provider, this medicine plays an important role in comprehensive cardiovascular care.

How Cardiomagnyl Forte Works

The active ingredient, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), has a well‑studied antiplatelet effect. It irreversibly inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme in platelets, which prevents the formation of thromboxane A2, a key mediator that signals platelets to aggregate and form clots. Because platelets cannot regenerate this enzyme, the antiplatelet effect lasts for the lifespan of the platelet (about 7–10 days), making once‑daily dosing effective.

The enteric film coating and addition of magnesium hydroxide help reduce direct irritation of the stomach lining, making the tablets gentler on the gastrointestinal tract compared to immediate‑release aspirin formulations alone.

Indications – When It’s Used

Cardiomagnyl Forte is indicated for individuals who require antiplatelet therapy and cardiovascular risk reduction, including:

• Primary prevention of cardiovascular events in people with risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking or advanced age.

• Secondary prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke.

• Prevention of thromboembolism after surgical and invasive vascular procedures (e.g., bypass surgery, angioplasty).

• Supportive therapy for unstable angina pectoris and other ischemic heart conditions.

The medicine’s ability to modify platelet activity makes it a cornerstone of many long‑term cardiovascular management plans under professional supervision.

Directions for Use

Take Cardiomagnyl Forte exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider:

• Adults: The usual dose is 1 tablet (150 mg) once daily, preferably at the same time each day.

• Tablets should be swallowed whole with plenty of water.

• The film coating helps reduce gastric irritation, but taking the tablet with food may further support tolerance.

Do not exceed the prescribed dose, and follow your physician’s guidance regarding duration of therapy. This is particularly important because the antiplatelet effect persists beyond the elimination of aspirin itself due to its irreversible action on platelets.

Safety and Precautions

Cardiomagnyl Forte should be used under medical supervision, especially in people with a history of digestive, bleeding or cardiovascular conditions:

• Allergy to aspirin or NSAIDs: Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid or similar compounds, including other nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs.

• Bleeding disorders: Not suitable for people with active gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic diathesis, significant thrombocytopenia or recent cerebral hemorrhage.

• Asthma related to salicylates/NSAIDs: Use is contraindicated if your asthma is triggered by these medications.

• Organ impairment: Avoid use in severe renal failure or severe hepatic impairment unless directed by a physician.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Not recommended in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy; consult your doctor before use.

• Children and adolescents: Not advised due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome in viral illnesses.

Certain medical conditions such as ulcer disease, gout, kidney or liver impairment, hay fever or nasal polyps may require caution and professional evaluation before initiating therapy.

Possible Side Effects

While well tolerated by many users, Cardiomagnyl Forte — like all aspirin‑based antiplatelet medicines — can cause side effects:

• Gastrointestinal symptoms: Dyspepsia, epigastric pain, potential irritation, ulceration or bleeding in the digestive tract.

• Increased bleeding tendency: Prolongation of bleeding time may lead to nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bruising or more serious hemorrhages.

• Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, bronchospasm or, rarely, anaphylactic reactions have been reported.

• Systemic effects: Dizziness, tinnitus or transient liver enzyme changes may occasionally occur.

Always contact a healthcare provider if side effects are severe or persistent.

Interactions With Other Medicines

Acetylsalicylic acid may interact with other medications and increase bleeding risks or alter effectiveness:

• Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel) — additive effects on bleeding risk.

• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) — may reduce aspirin’s cardioprotective effect and raise gastrointestinal risk.

• Methotrexate, corticosteroids, SSRIs — may influence toxicity or bleeding risk.

• Probenecid, spironolactone, digoxin — may affect metabolism or efficacy of other drugs.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking before starting Cardiomagnyl Forte.

Storage and Handling

Store the tablets at temperatures not exceeding 25 °C, in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and do not use beyond the expiry date.
