If you intend to use this product for heart-related purposes, consult your doctor first to evaluate benefits and bleeding risks. Do not take it daily long-term on your own.

Warnings

Higher risk groups: Aged 60+, history of stomach ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding, taking anticoagulants, steroid medicines, other NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen), or drinking alcohol daily. 

Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin or other pain relievers/fever reducers, have aspirin-induced asthma, or active stomach bleeding. 

Do not give to children and teenagers during or after chickenpox or flu-like illness due to risk of Reye’s syndrome.

Pharmacist Notes 

Should low-dose aspirin be taken daily by average healthy people? No. Whether long-term use for heart-related purposes is right for you must be assessed by a doctor based on your medical history and bleeding risk. Do not take it regularly without a doctor’s order.

Does enteric coating prevent stomach bleeding? No. Enteric coating only changes the release site and onset time. It does NOT eliminate the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by aspirin.
