Disgren belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents, which act by preventing the formation of blood clots (thrombi) that may block blood vessels.

This medicine is indicated in adults to reduce the risk of recurrence of a myocardial infarction, stable or unstable angina, or a cerebral infarction in patients who have previously suffered from any of these processes.

It is also indicated in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting.
