Aspirin 75mg Enteric-coated Tablets (56 Tablets)
Aspirin 75mg enteric-coated tablets are used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains. Because the tablets are enteric-coated, they do not provide fast relief and are intended for delayed action. Always take with a full glass of water and follow the dosing directions on the label.
What it is
Aspirin is a pain reliever (analgesic) and belongs to a class of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This particular product is an enteric-coated tablet, meaning it is designed to resist dissolving in the stomach and release the medicine in the intestines, which can help reduce stomach upset.
What it's used for
Aspirin is used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains, such as headache, muscle pain, or toothache. It may also be used for other purposes as directed by a doctor. Because of its delayed action, this enteric-coated form is not suitable for fast relief of symptoms that need immediate attention.
Common side effects
Common side effects may include stomach upset, heartburn, or nausea. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions (hives, facial swelling, wheezing) and Reye's syndrome in children with certain viral illnesses. If you experience any severe or unusual symptoms, stop use and seek medical help.
Important cautions
Do not use in children or teenagers who have or are recovering from chicken pox or flu-like symptoms, as this may increase the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness. Aspirin may cause a severe allergic reaction. If you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or asthma, consult a doctor before use.
