Dosage
A daily dose of one Aspirin Cardio enteric-coated tablet (equivalent to 100 mg
acetylsalicylic acid per day) is recommended.
The gastro-resistant tablets should be taken with plenty of water possibly at least 30 minutes before a meal. In order to ensure that the active substance is released in the alkaline environment of the intestine, the gastro-resistant tablets should not be split, crushed or chewed.
Aspirin cardio mg is intended for long-term use. The attending doctor must decide on the length of the treatment.
Indications
Primary prevention of coronary heart disease in patients at increased risk and the secondary prevention of thrombotic cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease.
Note: Aspirin Cardio is not suitable for the treatment of pain due to its amount of active substance.
