Introduction

INTRODUCTION ABOUT PRASITA A CAPSULEPRASITA A CAPSULE is a combination of Aspirin and Prasugrel which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiplatelet agents.

It is typically used among patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, a non-surgical procedure used to open clogged blood vessels supplying the heart) or stent implantation in the heart. It also manages the recurrence of heart attack, stroke, angina, atherosclerosis and other circulatory problems caused due to blood clots among patients with heart problems and/or problems in blood circulation.
