Prax A 75 Capsule 10

Prax A 75 Capsule is used for the following:

• Lowering the risk of serious cardiovascular problems like heart attack and stroke

• Preventing blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome

• Providing additional protection to those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Follow these instructions while taking Prax A 75 Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a meal.

• Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule.

• Ensure you take this medicine at a fixed time each day.

• Consult your doctor if you miss a dose; avoid taking double doses to make up for it.

Prax A 75 Capsule is taken orally.

Prax A 75 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): As an antiplatelet agent, aspirin works by irreversibly inhibiting a key enzyme in your body known as cyclooxygenase1 (COX1). This enzyme plays a crucial role in the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes platelet aggregation, leading to clot formation. By blocking COX1, aspirin effectively reduces platelet aggregation and thus prevents clot formation.

• Prasugrel (10 mg): Prasugrel is another potent antiplatelet agent. It is actually a prodrug, meaning it becomes active only after being metabolised within your body. Once activated, prasugrel blocks the P2Y12 component of ADP receptors on the surface of platelets in your blood stream. This action inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, further reducing the chances of clot formation.

Together, these two ingredients offer enhanced protection against thrombotic cardiovascular events.

• Store your Prax A 75 Capsule at room temperature, ideally not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep the capsule protected from moisture and heat to maintain its efficacy.

• Ensure it's stored in a secure place, out of children's reach.

• Always check the expiration date and use before it.

• Consider a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. These foods help support overall cardiovascular health, which is beneficial when managing conditions like acute coronary syndrome.

• Limit alcohol consumption as it can increase your risk of gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding, side effects associated with Prax A 75 Capsule. Always consult your doctor for personalised guidance.
