Nu-seals Aspirin Enteric Coated 75MG Tablets are used for the secondary prevention of thrombotic cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease and following by-pass surgery. Aspirin has an antithrombotic action, mediated through inhibition of platelet activation, which has been shown to be useful in secondary prophylaxis following myocardial infarction and in patients with unstable angina or ischaemic stroke including cerebral transient attacks.

Dosage
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.

Side Effects
All medicines may cause some unwanted or side-effects in a few people. Aspirin may trigger asthma attacks and wheezing or difficulty in breathing in asthma sufferers or other hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible individuals. If you notice any blood or discoloration in your stools, tell your doctor immediately.

Warning
There is a possible association between aspirin and Reye's syndrome when given to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease, which affects the brain and liver, and can be fatal. For this reason aspirin should not be given to children aged under 16 years. Patients using enteric coated aspirin should be advised against ingesting antacids simultaneously to avoid premature drug release.
Always read the packaging and instruction leaflet before use.
