Aggrenox (aspirin/dipyridamole) is a prescription medication used to help reduce the risk of stroke in people who have previously experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a “mini-stroke,” or an ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot.
A stroke can occur when blood flow to part of the brain becomes blocked, preventing the brain from receiving enough oxygen and nutrients. People who have already experienced a TIA or ischemic stroke are at a higher risk of having another stroke in the future.
Aggrenox is used as part of a long-term treatment plan to help prevent future strokes in individuals with a history of:
By reducing the formation of blood clots, Aggrenox helps maintain healthy blood flow to the brain and lowers the risk of another stroke occurring.
Aggrenox contains two active ingredients:
Both medications help prevent blood clots, but they work through different mechanisms. Together, they provide a dual antiplatelet effect that helps reduce the risk of clot formation.
Aspirin
Aspirin works by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX). This reduces the production of substances that cause platelets to stick together and form clots.
As a result, aspirin helps:
Dipyridamole
Dipyridamole works by increasing the activity of certain natural substances that help prevent platelets from clumping together. It does this by:
These actions help keep platelets from forming unwanted blood clots and support healthy circulation.
When taken as prescribed, Aggrenox may help:
Aggrenox is intended to help prevent future strokes and is not used to treat an active stroke once it has occurred.
Because Aggrenox affects the blood’s ability to clot, it may increase the risk of bleeding. Take the medication exactly as prescribed and attend regular follow-up appointments so your healthcare provider can monitor your treatment and ensure the medication remains safe and effective.
Aggrenox is available as an extended-release capsule and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. To help achieve the maximum benefit, take Aggrenox at the same times each day.
The capsules should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, break, or open the capsules. Damaging the capsule can release the medication too quickly, which may increase the risk of side effects and reduce the effectiveness of the extended-release formulation.
The usual recommended dose of Aggrenox is:
Aggrenox may be taken with or without food.
Each extended-release capsule contains:
For the best results, take Aggrenox consistently as prescribed. Because the medication helps prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of stroke, regular use is important even if you feel well.
Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate treatment duration based on your medical history, risk factors, and response to therapy.
Some people may experience headaches when first starting Aggrenox, particularly due to the dipyridamole component. These headaches often improve as the body adjusts to the medication.
If you experience severe or persistent headaches, contact your healthcare provider. In some cases, your healthcare provider may temporarily adjust your treatment plan to help manage this side effect.
Regular follow-up appointments are important while taking Aggrenox. Your healthcare provider may monitor your response to treatment, assess your risk of bleeding, and ensure the medication continues to provide effective stroke prevention.
Taking Aggrenox consistently and following your prescribed treatment plan can help reduce the risk of future strokes and support long-term cardiovascular health.
Aggrenox (Dipyridamole/Asa) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before taking Aggrenox, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions and medications. Because Aggrenox affects blood clotting, certain precautions and monitoring may be necessary during treatment.
Aggrenox can increase the risk of bleeding because it prevents platelets from clumping together to form blood clots.
Your risk of bleeding may be higher if you:
Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience symptoms such as:
Serious allergic reactions can occur in some people taking Aggrenox.
Seek emergency medical attention if you develop symptoms such as:
Do not take Aggrenox if you are allergic to aspirin, dipyridamole, or any of the ingredients in the medication.
Aggrenox may affect kidney or liver function, particularly in people with existing kidney or liver disease.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of:
Additional monitoring may be recommended during treatment.
Dipyridamole can sometimes cause a decrease in blood pressure, which may lead to:
Use caution when standing up quickly from a sitting or lying position, especially when first starting treatment.
Both aspirin and dipyridamole can pass into breast milk.
If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, discuss the potential risks and benefits of Aggrenox with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
Because Aggrenox affects blood clotting, it may increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery, dental procedures, or other medical interventions.
Be sure to tell all healthcare providers, surgeons, and dentists that you are taking Aggrenox before undergoing any procedure.
Do not stop taking Aggrenox without first consulting your healthcare provider.
Aspirin may trigger bronchospasm (airway narrowing) in some individuals with asthma, which can make breathing difficult.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have:
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, discuss the use of Aggrenox with your healthcare provider.
The potential benefits and risks of treatment should be carefully evaluated before using Aggrenox during pregnancy.
People with high blood pressure should be monitored while taking Aggrenox.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have:
Regular monitoring may be recommended to help ensure safe treatment.
Regular follow-up appointments can help your healthcare provider monitor your response to treatment and ensure that Aggrenox remains a safe and effective part of your stroke prevention plan.
Alcohol should be consumed with caution while taking Aggrenox. Drinking alcohol, especially in large amounts, may increase the risk of stomach irritation, stomach ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding associated with aspirin. If you drink alcohol, speak with your healthcare provider about what amount, if any, is appropriate for you while taking Aggrenox.
Aggrenox is typically taken twice daily, usually once in the morning and once in the evening. The medication may be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsules. For the best results, take Aggrenox exactly as prescribed and at the same times each day. Consistent use helps maintain its protective effect against stroke.
If you miss a dose of Aggrenox, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose. Taking more than the prescribed amount may increase the risk of side effects, including bleeding. If you frequently miss doses, consider using a medication reminder or pill organizer and speak with your healthcare provider if you need additional assistance managing your medication schedule.
