Containing aspirin, this dosage is specifically intended for the treatment of certain heart and blood vessel disorders, alone or in combination with other treatments prescribed by your doctor.
Kardegic 160 mg Aspirin Stroke Prevention 30 sachets is used to prevent recurrence of cardiovascular disease caused by a blood clot in an artery.
Blood clots are semi-solid, viscous masses of blood cells. Their formation is a normal reaction of the body to damage to a blood vessel. Their main function is to plug the leak and prevent bleeding.
However, when a clot obstructs an artery (or thrombus), preventing the flow of blood and oxygen to an organ, it can lead to tissue damage, or infarction. When blood clots break loose (embolism) from the area they were intended to protect, they can put other organs at risk.

Unless otherwise advised by your doctor, you should not take KARDEGIC 160 mg, powder for drinkable solution in sachet at the same time as :
- an oral anticoagulant (a drug used to thin the blood) if you have a history of stomach or duodenal ulcer,

- pemetrexed (a drug used in the treatment of certain cancers): the combination may increase the risk of pemetrexed toxicity. Your doctor should monitor your clinical condition.
Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines containing :

- insulin and sulfonylureas (a drug used to reduce blood sugar levels): combination increases the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar),
