Description

  • Ecosprin is indicated for prophylaxis against arterial occlusive events, mild to moderate pain, chronic diseases accompanied by pain and inflammation, and as an antipyretic.

  • The dosage varies for different conditions such as pain, inflammatory diseases, suspected acute coronary syndrome, after myocardial infarction, acute/transient ischaemic stroke, and following bypass surgery.
  • Interactions may occur with anticoagulants, oral hypoglycaemic agents, phenytoin, sodium valproate, probenecid, sulphonamides, and in susceptible subjects, it may precipitate bronchospasm or induce asthma attacks.
