Cardigrel As 150 Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Cardigrel As 150 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (150 mg): This ingredient works as an antiplatelet agent by inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase. This inhibition prevents the production of thromboxane A2, a chemical that promotes platelet aggregation (the sticking together of blood cells), thereby reducing the risk of blood clots forming inside narrowed arteries.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This component acts as an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonist. It prevents platelet aggregation by selectively inhibiting the binding of ADP to its platelet receptor called P2Y12, which inhibits the activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex. This process effectively reduces platelet clustering and prevents blood clot formation.

• Regular exercise: Engage in moderate physical activity like walking for 30 minutes daily to improve blood circulation and heart health, which works alongside the medicine to reduce your risk of blood clots.
