Aspirin 75mg Gastro-Resistant Tablets 28 Pack

For the management of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease:

Patients should seek the advice of a doctor before commencing therapy for the first time.

The usual dosage, for long-term use, is 75-150mg once daily. In some circumstances a higher dose may be appropriate, especially in the short term, and up to 300mg a day may be used on the advice of a doctor.

In general, acetylsalicylic acids should be used with caution in elderly patients who are more prone to adverse events. The usual adult dose is recommended in the absence of severe renal or hepatic insufficiency (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). Treatment should be reviewed at regular intervals.

Antithrombotic action:

150mg at diagnosis and 75mg daily thereafter. Tablets taken at diagnosis should be chewed in order to gain rapid absorption.

Children:

Do not give to children aged under 16 years, unless specifically indicated (e.g. for Kawasaki’s disease). See section 4.4.

Method of administration:

Aspirin 75 mg is for oral administration to adults only.
