ASPIRIN TABS 75MG E/C X 28
Aspirin 75mg enteric-coated tablets are used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains. This over-the-counter product has a delayed action, so it is not suitable for fast headache relief. Always follow the dosage instructions on the label.
What it is
Aspirin is a pain reliever medicine. This version is an enteric-coated (delayed-release) tablet, which means it dissolves slowly in the body. It is not designed for immediate relief of headaches or other symptoms.
What it's used for
It is used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains, such as headaches, muscle pain, or toothache. It may also be used for other purposes as recommended by a doctor. Because of its delayed release, it is not intended for fast pain relief.
Common side effects
Possible side effects include allergic reactions (such as hives, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing). In children and teenagers who have or are recovering from chicken pox or flu-like symptoms, changes in behaviour with nausea and vomiting may occur and could be an early sign of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but serious illness.
Important cautions
Do not give this medicine to children or teenagers who have chicken pox or flu-like symptoms, as it may increase the risk of Reye’s syndrome. Stop use and seek medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor. Because of its delayed action, it will not provide fast relief for headaches or other symptoms needing immediate attention.
