Aspirin + Pantoprazole

Introduction

Aspirin + Pantoprazole is a combination medicine used to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots in at-risk individuals while protecting the stomach from acid-related damage. Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that prevents blood clot formation, and Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid. This dual-action therapy is often prescribed to patients with cardiovascular risks who also need protection against gastric irritation caused by aspirin or NSAIDs.

• Prevention of heart attacks and strokes
