Aggrenox contains the active ingredient Aspiring/Dipyridamole and is used as a blood thinner and to help lower blood pressure.

Some of the most common side effects include: headache, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

It is also listed as causing athritis, back pain, arthralgia and other similar conditions in a small percentage of patients.

Your best idea would be to consult your doctor, most side effects should wear off once your body adjusts to the medication, however, you should rule out there being another problem or see if it is from this medication.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

I just had a TIA 4 days ago. I have had muscle ache in my lower leg and in my upper arms. It feels like I'm having muscle spasms. Is that how you feel? Did your pain begin early?

My mom has been taking aggrenox and complaining of pain in the upper leg. Is there something to do to help offset this pain? Are you still taking Aggrenox?
