Yosprala contains a combination of aspirin and omeprazole. Aspirin is as platelet aggregation inhibitor. It also reduces substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

Yosprala is used to help lower the risk of heart problems, strokes, or death in people who have had certain conditions related to blood clots, including angina (chest pain), a past heart attack, or a stroke or a "mini stroke."

Yosprala is also used in people who have had surgery to improve blood flow to the heart and also have another condition that is already being treated with aspirin.

Omeprazole helps reduce the risk of stomach ulcers that may be caused by aspirin, especially in people who are 55 or older, or those who have had stomach ulcers in the past.
