AGGRENOX is a prescription medication used to lower the risk of stroke in people who have had a “mini-stroke” (transient ischemia attack or TIA) or stroke due to a blood clot.
AGGRENOX should be avoided in patients allergic to any ingredient in AGGRENOX, allergic to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), or who have the combination of asthma, runny nose and nasal polyps. AGGRENOX should not be given to a child or teenager due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome.
AGGRENOX may cause an increased bleeding risk, including into the brain, stomach or intestines and any bleeding may take longer to stop. AGGRENOX should be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or those who drink three or more alcoholic drinks a day due to the risk of bleeding. Patients should inform their doctor of all medications they are currently taking including NSAIDS or blood thinners.
AGGRENOX should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, or in patients with severe liver or kidney problems. The most common side effects of AGGRENOX are headache, upset stomach and diarrhea.
