• Confirmed coronary artery disease
• Stent placement (PCI)
• Coronary bypass (CABG)
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD)

Primary Prevention — Routinely NAHI

Pichla heart event nahi tha to routinely Loprin recommend nahi — bleeding risk benefit se zyada ho sakti hai. Pakistan mein log apni marzi se Loprin shuru kar dete hain — yeh galat hai.

• Bleeding risk low

• Bruising aasaan
• Heartburn

Serious:

• GI bleeding — sab se bara concern (1-2% per year)

Surgery Se Pehlay

5-7 din pehlay Loprin band karein elective surgery se. Emergency surgery mein doctor decision karega.

Stent placement ke baad aspirin band na karein bina cardiologist mashware — clot ka risk bohat zyada.

Drug Interactions

• Warfarin, DOACs: Bleeding risk significantly badha
• NSAIDs (Brufen, Voltral): Stomach ulcer risk doubles, aspirin effect kam
• SSRIs (depression dawai): GI bleeding
• Steroids: Bleeding risk badha
• Methotrexate: Toxicity
• ACE inhibitors: BP control reduce
• Alcohol: Stomach bleeding

Stomach Protection

Long-term Loprin users mein PPI (Risek 20, Pantop) add karna common practice hai jab risk factors hon:

• 60+ years
• Pichla GI bleed
• NSAIDs ya steroids saath
• H. pylori positive

Aspirin Resistance

5-10% patients mein aspirin effective nahi hoti — "aspirin resistance". Cardiologist platelet function test karwa sakta hai. Alternative: Plavix (clopidogrel).

Dental Procedures

Routine dental work (extractions, cleanings) mein Loprin continue rakhein — bleeding manageable hai. Major surgery se hi band karein.
