Description

Dispersible Aspirin 75mg – 100 Tablets

Dispersible Aspirin 75mg tablets contain a low dose of aspirin, used to help prevent blood clots in people who have had a heart attack, stroke, angina, or who have undergone heart bypass surgery. This medicine is available as a dispersible (dissolvable) tablet, making it easy to take with water.

How It Works

Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. It works by reducing the ability of platelets (tiny blood cells) to clump together and form clots, helping to keep blood flowing freely through the arteries and reducing the risk of a further heart attack or stroke.

Directions for Use

The usual dose for adults is one 75mg tablet taken once a day, unless your doctor has advised differently. Disperse the tablet in a glass of water before swallowing — do not swallow it whole. This medicine is not suitable for children under 16 years unless specifically directed by a doctor. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Taking aspirin with other blood-thinning medicines significantly increases the risk of bleeding.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Low-dose aspirin may be used during pregnancy under medical supervision, particularly in women at risk of pre-eclampsia, but it should generally be avoided in the third trimester without medical guidance. Aspirin is not recommended during breastfeeding as it passes into breast milk. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol whilst taking aspirin increases the risk of stomach irritation and gastrointestinal bleeding. It is advisable to keep alcohol consumption to a minimum whilst taking this medicine.
