A Short Communication on Aspirin Induced Hematemesis

Abstract

Ischemia is defined as inadequate blood supply (circulation) to a local area due to blockage of the blood vessels supplying the area. Ischemic means that an organ (e.g., the heart) is not getting enough blood and oxygen. Ischemic heart disease, also called coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease is the term given to heart problems caused by narrowed heart (coronary) arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. A 60 year old male patient was known case of Ischemic Heart disease (IHD). He came to tertiary care hospital with complaints of 4-5 episodes of hematemesis after administering Tablet (Tab). DEPLETT-A (75/150 milligram (mg)) (0-1-0) (clopidogrel + aspirin). For management of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) doctor kept suspected drug on hold till the symptoms recovered. Better surveillance is necessary for implementation of safe and effective treatment for individual patient. In-order to prevent serious adverse drug reactions of this drug, close monitoring during treatment course creating awareness, recognition of the problem and careful monitoring of all patients who receive this medication are essential.
