Prasita-A Capsule is primarily used to prevent blood clot formation in blood vessels, especially after certain heart procedures like cardiac stent placement. This combination medicine belongs to the class of medications known as antiplatelet medicines.

In addition to this primary use, this medicine is also deployed to reduce the risk of further heart attacks, strokes, or heart-related chest pain in patients with heart diseases. It helps in making platelets less sticky, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots.

Before you start taking this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Make sure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately.

Prasita-A Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Bleeding, including nosebleeds and bleeding gums
Bruising easily
Stomach pain
Nausea or indigestion
Headache or dizziness
Skin rash or itching

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Prasita-A Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Stomach pain: Try taking Prasita-A Capsule with food to lessen this effect.
Nausea or indigestion: If you have nausea or indigestion after taking this medication, consider taking it after your meals.

Prasita-A Capsule has two active ingredients:

Aspirin (75 mg): This ingredient works by inhibiting the production of certain substances known as prostaglandins that are responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. Specifically, it blocks a key enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), and this action reduces the formation of thromboxane A2, a substance that stimulates clotting of blood.
Prasugrel (10 mg): This component is an antiplatelet medicine that acts on the platelets in your blood. It inhibits a receptor called P2Y12 on the surface of platelets. By doing this, it prevents a substance called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from activating the platelets and causing them to clump together into a blood clot. This action results in a prolonged antiplatelet effect, reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Prasita-A Capsule if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Prasita-A Capsule is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Using Machines & Driving

Children
