Aspirin 150mg Gastro-resistant Tablets
SKU GME769Product Introduction
Aspirin 150mg is a low-dose antiplatelet medicine used to reduce the risk of blood clots in people with established cardiovascular disease or another defined cardiovascular indication. It is used for prevention of clot-related heart attacks and ischaemic strokes, rather than routine pain relief at this strength.
How to use
Take the gastro-resistant tablet with or after food and swallow it whole with water. Do not crush or chew it for routine maintenance treatment. Continue the scheduled antiplatelet treatment unless the treating team changes the plan, particularly after a coronary stent.
How it works
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclo-oxygenase-1, reducing thromboxane production. This decreases platelet sticking and clot formation for the remaining lifespan of affected platelets.
Side effects
Indigestion, easier bruising and longer bleeding from cuts can occur. Black stools, vomiting blood, severe headache, facial swelling or breathing difficulty require urgent medical assessment.
Important information
Previous stomach bleeding, recurrent ulcers, bleeding disorders and aspirin-sensitive asthma are important risks. Ibuprofen, other NSAIDs and anticoagulants can increase bleeding or interfere with antiplatelet treatment. A gastro-resistant coating does not eliminate stomach bleeding risk.
Uses
- Prevention of arterial clot-related cardiovascular events in selected patients
- antiplatelet therapy after coronary intervention.
Benefits
Reduces platelet-driven clot formation and helps protect against further cardiovascular events when there is an appropriate antiplatelet indication.
Is Aspirin 150mg suitable for a headache?
This low-dose product is intended for antiplatelet treatment. It is not the usual dose or formulation for treating a headache.
Does the coating prevent all stomach bleeding?
No. Gastro-resistant coating delays tablet dissolution but does not remove aspirin's systemic effect on bleeding.
Should aspirin be stopped before dental work?
Tell the dentist about antiplatelet treatment. Stopping it without an agreed plan can expose some patients to a clotting risk.
Can it be combined with ibuprofen?
Ibuprofen can increase bleeding and may reduce aspirin's antiplatelet effect depending on timing. A suitable pain-relief option should be selected for the individual.
Is daily aspirin useful for every healthy adult?
No. In people without a clear cardiovascular indication, bleeding risk may outweigh preventive benefit.
