AGGRENOX Drug Safety and Side Effects

Know the risk information of FDA-approved AGGRENOX.

Some people who take AGGRENOX may experience side effects. The most common side effects of AGGRENOX include headache, upset stomach, and diarrhea. Because AGGRENOX contains aspirin, the risk of bleeding is increased and it may take longer to stop bleeding.

These are not all the possible side effects of AGGRENOX. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

Headaches during treatment.

Headaches are not uncommon when you first start taking AGGRENOX, but often lessen as treatment continues. Tell your healthcare provider if you have a severe headache. Your healthcare provider may change the instructions for taking AGGRENOX.
