FAQs

What is the main purpose of Aspirin Enteric Coated 75mg Tablets?

The main purpose is to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation, thereby lowering the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes in individuals at increased cardiovascular risk, as prescribed by a doctor.

How does the enteric coating work?

The enteric coating is designed to prevent the tablet from dissolving in the stomach. Instead, it dissolves in the intestines, which can help minimize irritation to the stomach lining.

Can I take these tablets for pain relief?

No, Aspirin Enteric Coated 75mg Tablets are formulated for preventive cardiovascular therapy and are not intended for pain relief or fever reduction.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose.

Who should not take these tablets?

Individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, severe kidney or liver problems, or those allergic to aspirin, salicylates, or NSAIDs should not take these tablets without consulting a doctor. It is also not recommended for children under 16 unless advised by a doctor.

How should I take the tablet?

Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.

How long should I take this medication?

The duration of treatment should be determined by your healthcare professional based on your individual health needs and risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing stomach discomfort or indigestion.

Ensure you are swallowing the tablet whole with water and not crushing or chewing it. If discomfort persists, consult your doctor, as this may indicate a need to adjust dosage or explore alternative treatments.
