Date of revision WHAT VIQUPRIN IS USED FOR Viquprin is used as a platelet aggregation inhibitor in patients following aortocoronary by-pass surgery, to prevent graft occlusion. Conditions where modification of platelet behavior is considered beneficial, including transient ischaemic attacks, secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and for prophylaxis against stroke, vascular occlusion and deep vein thrombosis. HOW VIQUPRIN WORKS Aspirin reduces the stickiness of platelets, where formation of clot is less likely to be occurred in the blood vessels. Glycine helps to reduce gastric irritation caused by aspirin.

Available in pack size of 30 tablets per box (10 tablets per blister, and 3 blisters in a box). WHAT IS VIQUPRIN USED FOR? VIQUPRIN is used as a platelet aggregation inhibitor in patients following aortocoronary by-pass surgery, to prevent graft occlusion. Conditions where modification of platelet behavior is considered beneficial, including transient ischaemic attacks, secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and for prophylaxis against stroke, vascular occlusion and deep vein thrombosis. HOW VIQUPRIN WORKS? VIQUPRIN contains aspirin and glycine. Aspirin reduces the stickiness of platelets, where formation of clot is less likely to be occurred in the blood vessels. Glycine helps to reduce gastric irritation caused by aspirin. Pharmacodynamics Aspirin is a salicylate NSAID which inhibits platelet aggregation, in addition to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Glycine is a non-essential aliphatic amino acids. It is used in the aspirin preparation as to reduce gastric irritation. Pharmacokinetics Aspirin is absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally. Once absorbed, aspirin is rapidly converted to salicylate, but during the first 20 minutes after an oral dose aspirin is the main form of the drug in the plasma. Aspirin is 80 to 90% bound to plasma proteins and is widely distributed; its volume of distribution is reported to be 170 mL/kg in adults. Both aspirin and salicylate have pharmacological activity although only aspirin has an anti-platelet effect. Salicylate is extensively bound to plasma proteins and is rapidly distributed to all body parts. Salicylate is mainly eliminated by hepatic metabolism; the metabolites include salicyluric acid, salicyl phenolic glucuronide, salicylic acyl glucuronide, gentisic a Lire le document complet
