About Aggramed 5mg Infusion

Aggramed 5mg Infusion belongs to a class of medicines called 'antiplatelets' (blood thinners) used to prevent blood clots. It helps to prevent heart attack and chest pain. It is intended for use with unfractionated heparin and aspirin. A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful for stopping bleeding, they are harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs.

Aggramed 5mg Infusion contains Tirofiban, a platelet aggregation inhibitor which works by preventing platelets (blood cells) from sticking together to form blood clots. Thus, it prevents blood clot formation.

Aggramed 5mg Infusion will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer.

Most of these side effects of Aggramed 5mg Infusion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
