Astrix 100mg capsules are a specialised formulation of aspirin designed to prevent blood platelets from sticking together and to reduce the chance of a blood clot forming. These blood clots could block an artery and therefore reduce or stop blood flow. This is especially important as we grow older, because our arteries can become narrower with fatty cholesterol and plaque build-up on the artery walls. Astrix capsules help to keep your blood flowing freely.
Your doctor or pharmacist will tell you how many capsules you will need to take each day. However, the most common dose is one Astrix 100 mg capsule once daily with food. Set aside a regular time to take Astrix capsules, preferably with a meal so you remember. Each Astrix capsule should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water.
Astrix capsules are an effective way keep the blood in your arteries flowing freely and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
