Overview

**Dipyridamole + aspirin** is an oral fixed-dose antiplatelet combination, most widely marketed as Aggrenox. Each capsule contains extended-release dipyridamole 200 mg plus immediate-release aspirin 25 mg. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1, suppressing thromboxane A2 production, while dipyridamole inhibits adenosine uptake and cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity, increasing extracellular adenosine and platelet cyclic nucleotide signaling to reduce platelet activation and aggregation. It is approved for secondary prevention of stroke in patients with a prior transient ischemic attack or completed ischemic stroke due to thrombosis.
