Hi! I also was interested to find out something more about aggrenox. Aggrenox is proven to work.
Aggrenox prevented twice as many strokes as aspirin. Aggrenox is highly successful in preventing stroke in typical TIA/stroke patients. Combination of aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole leads to superior prevention of recurrent stroke vs aspirin alone. This combination of medications can only be found in Aggrenox
There are side effects associated with Aggrenox that you should know about. Even low doses of aspirin can increase bleeding time, which can adversely affect patients with bleeding disorders. Patients with a history of active peptic ulcer disease should avoid using aspirin, which can cause gastric mucosal irritation and bleeding. I use aggrenox, before taking aggrenox consult with your doctor. I hope that I helped you.
