About this item
Aspirin Cardio 100mg Tablets unlike standard aspirin used for pain and fever, the primary purpose of this 100 mg dose is its antiplatelet (blood-thinning) effect. It works by preventing blood platelets from clumping together to form harmful clots that can obstruct blood flow to the heart or brain. Aspirin Cardio 100mg is often recommended by physicians as a preventive measure for high-risk patients. The tablets are typically gastro-resistant (enteric-coated), meaning they are designed to pass through the stomach intact before dissolving in the intestine. This mechanism minimizes irritation to the stomach lining, making them suitable for long-term daily consumption.
Dosage of Aspirin Cardio 100mg Tablets
Take as directed by the pharmacist or physician. This is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) for cardiovascular use.
- Adults (For Cardiovascular Protection): The usual dosage is one tablet (100 mg) once daily, or as specified by your physician.
Proper Administration
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole. Do NOT crush, chew, or break the tablet. This is vital because crushing the gastro-resistant coating defeats the purpose, leading to stomach irritation.
- Best Time to Take: The tablet should be taken at the same time each day, preferably after food, with a glass of water. Some doctors recommend taking it in the evening.
Missed Dose Guidance: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember that same day. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
Contraindications of Aspirin Cardio 100mg Tablets
- Known Allergies: Do NOT take if you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Aspirin, other salicylates, or any Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), or any of the excipients.
- Gastrointestinal Issues: Contraindicated in patients with a history of active stomach or intestinal ulcers, or any recent or current gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Bleeding Disorders: Do not take if you have a known bleeding disorder (e.g., haemophilia) or severe clotting problems.
- Severe Organ Impairment: Contraindicated in patients with severe liver, kidney, or heart failure.
- Pregnancy (Third Trimester): Avoid use in the last trimester of pregnancy, as it can cause harm to the fetus and complications during delivery.
- Children/Viral Illnesses: Aspirin should NOT be given to children under 16 years of age, especially if they have a fever or viral illness (like chickenpox or flu), due to the risk of Reye's Syndrome.
Side Effects of Aspirin Cardio 100mg Tablets
Even at a low dose, long-term use carries risks, primarily related to bleeding and irritation.
- Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): Mild indigestion, nausea, or discomfort.
- Serious but Rare Side Effects (That May Require Medical Attention): Gastrointestinal Bleeding (signs include black, tarry stools, or vomiting blood/coffee grounds), easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from cuts, severe allergic reaction (rash, difficulty breathing), or signs of liver dysfunction. If any serious symptoms occur, stop use immediately and seek emergency medical attention.
Precautions and Warnings of Aspirin Cardio 100mg Tablets
- Drug Interactions (Crucial): Consult your doctor or pharmacist BEFORE starting if you are currently taking other NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Naproxen), other blood thinners (e.g., Warfarin, Clopidogrel), or SSRIs/SNRIs (certain antidepressants), as these combinations significantly increase the risk of bleeding.
- Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on Aspirin, as this increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Surgery and Dental Work: Inform your doctor or dentist you are taking this Aspirin before any planned surgery or major dental work, as it must often be stopped a few days prior to minimize bleeding risk.
- Asthma: Use with caution in patients with asthma, as Aspirin can trigger an asthma attack.
- Tinnitus: Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) may indicate a toxicity issue, though rare at this low dose.
- Pack Size: Varies (Commonly 28 or 30 Tablets)
- Form: Gastro-Resistant Oral Tablet
