Aspisafe 75mg

Aspisafe 75mg Gastro-Resistant Tablets are designed to help prevent blood clots from forming, which can lead to heart attacks or strokes. These tablets are particularly useful for individuals who have previously experienced cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, such as those who have had bypass surgery. The 75mg dose is part of a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents, which work by preventing blood cells from sticking together and forming clots.

Each tablet contains 75mg of aspirin and 17mg of lactose. They are white, film-coated, and round, making them easy to swallow whole with water. It is crucial not to cut, crush, or chew the tablets, as this can affect their effectiveness.

For adults and those over 16 years old, the usual dosage is one to two tablets taken once daily. In some cases, a higher dose may be recommended by a doctor, especially in the short term. However, it is essential to use caution in elderly patients who may be more prone to adverse effects.

Aspirin 75mg Gastro-Resistant Tablets are not recommended for children under 16 years old due to the risk of Reye’s Syndrome, a rare but serious condition. Treatment should be reviewed regularly to ensure the benefits outweigh the risks.

These tablets are primarily used for the secondary prevention of thrombotic cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease. If you have any concerns or questions about taking these tablets, it is best to consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
