Caprin 75mg

Candid puts 75mg of aspirin in each Caprin tablet. This isn’t the aspirin you take for headaches – it’s baby aspirin that keeps blood clots from forming. Pakistani heart doctors give it to people whose arteries are getting clogged or who’ve already had heart attacks. Tiny dose, big protection.

Aspirin at this low dose works like blood thinner without actually thinning your blood. It stops platelets from sticking together and forming clots. Those clots can block arteries going to your heart or brain, causing heart attacks or strokes. Taking one small tablet daily keeps your blood flowing smooth.

Heart disease kills tons of Pakistani men in their 40s and 50s. Stress, smoking, fried food, family history – all push up heart attack risk. Women get hit after menopause when their natural protection drops off. Caprin helps prevent the clots that actually cause most heart attacks.

Why Heart Doctors Prescribe This

Cardiologists use Caprin 75mg for patients who:

• Already survived one heart attack • Have clogged arteries found on tests • Face high stroke risk from blood clots • Need protection after heart surgery • Have diabetes threatening their blood vessels • Show early signs of heart disease

The Clot Stopper

Pure aspirin 75mg per tablet. This acetylsalicylic acid dose is perfect for preventing clots without causing bleeding problems. Much lower than pain-relief aspirin doses, but strong enough to keep platelets from clumping together in your arteries.

Taking It Without Stomach Trouble

Swallow with food or milk to protect your stomach lining. Aspirin can eat holes in your stomach if taken on empty stomach daily. Water works too if you don’t have food handy.

Same time every day keeps protection steady. Most people take it with breakfast since food helps anyway. Don’t skip doses – clot protection drops off within 24 hours.

Check if tablets smell like vinegar before taking. That smell means aspirin has gone bad and won’t work properly.

Serious Warnings

Tell every doctor and dentist about Caprin before any procedure. Even tiny cuts can bleed longer when you’re on blood thinners. They might need to stop it few days before surgery.

Watch for black stools or throwing up blood. These mean internal bleeding and need emergency help. Stomach bleeding from aspirin can happen without warning.

Don’t drink alcohol regularly while taking this. Alcohol plus aspirin wrecks your stomach lining and increases bleeding risk.

Side Effects to Expect

Stomach irritation hits some people even with food. Usually mild but can get worse over time. Some folks get ringing in their ears or feel dizzy.

Unusual bruising happens because your blood doesn’t clot as fast. Small cuts take longer to stop bleeding. Normal side effect but mention it to your doctor if it gets excessive.

Drug Interactions

High-dose Vitamin C can interfere with how aspirin works. Don’t take mega-dose Vitamin C supplements without telling your doctor.

Blood pressure medicines work differently when combined with aspirin. Your doctor needs to adjust doses carefully.

Caprin (low-dose aspirin) helps prevent repeat heart attacks and works best when taken daily. You may not feel the benefit, but it protects your heart silently in the background. The bleeding risk from 75mg is usually low, and for most patients, the benefits outweigh the risks.
