How Aspirin + Pantoprazole works
Aspirin + Pantoprazole is a combination of two different medications. Aspirin has an antiplatelet effect, meaning it prevents the formation of blood clots and reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes in individuals at high risk for these conditions. Though, it can irritate the stomach lining and increase the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding. But pantoprazole in this combination medicine blocks an enzyme in the stomach called the proton pump that is responsible for producing acid. This acid-reducing effect of pantoprazole can help protect the stomach lining and reduce the likelihood of the side effects of this medicine.
