Adults
The advice of a doctor should be sought before commencing therapy for the first time. The usual dosage, for long term use, is 75 – 150 mg once daily.
In some circumstances a higher dose may be appropriate, especially in the short term, and up to 300mg a day may be used on the advice of a doctor.
Elderly
In general, acetylsalicylic acids should be used with caution in elderly patients who are more prone to adverse events. The usual adult dose is recommended in the absence of severe renal or hepatic insufficiency (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). Treatment should be reviewed at regular intervals.
Children under 16 years of age
Do not give to children under 16 years of age, unless specifically indicated (eg for Kawasaki’s disease).
Do not exceed the stated dose
Warnings
Aspirin is contra-indicated in:
• Hypersensitivity to salicylic acid compounds or prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors (e.g. certain asthma patients who may suffer an attack or faint and certain patients who may suffer from bronchospasm, rhinitis and urticaria) and to any of the excipients
• Peptic ulceration or history of peptic ulceration and/or gastric/intestinal haemorrhage, or other kinds of bleeding such as cerebrovascular haemorrhages
• Severe hepatic impairment
• Severe renal impairment
• Gout
• Children under 16 (except under medical supervision for use for example in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis)
• Doses >100 mg/day during the third trimester of pregnancy (see section 4.6)
• Breast feeding
• Haemorrhagic diathesis; coagulation disorders such as haemophilia and thrombocytopenia and where there is concurrent anti-coagulant therapy
• Methotrexate used at doses > 15 mg/week
Dispersible Aspirin 75 mg Tablets are not suitable for use as an anti-inflammatory/analgesic/antipyretic.
Before commencing long-term aspirin therapy for the management of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease patients should consult their doctor who can advise on the relative benefits versus the risks for the individual patient.
Administer with caution in the presence of allergic disease, renal or hepatic impairment and dehydration. Liver tests should be performed regularly in patients presenting slight or moderate hepatic insufficiency.
There is a possible association between Aspirin and Reye’s Syndrome when given to children. Reye’s syndrome is a very rare disease, which affects the brain and liver, and can be fatal. For this reason aspirin should not be given to children under 16 years unless specifically indicated (e.g. for Kawasaki’s disease).
There is an increased risk of haemorrhage particularly during or after operative procedures (even in cases of minor procedures, e.g. tooth extraction). Use with caution before surgery, including tooth extraction. Temporary discontinuation of treatment may be necessary.
Dispersible Aspirin 75 mg Tablets are not recommended during menorrhagia where it may increase menstrual bleeding.
Dispersible Aspirin 75 mg Tablets are to be used with caution in cases of hypertension and when patients have a past history of gastric or duodenal ulcer or haemorrhagic episodes or are undergoing therapy with anticoagulants.
Patients should report any unusual bleeding symptoms to their physician. If gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration occurs the treatment should be withdrawn.
Acetylsalicylic acid may promote bronchospasm and asthma attacks or other hypersensitivity reactions. Risk factors are existing asthma, hay fever, nasal polyps or chronic respiratory diseases. The same applies for patients who also show allergic reaction to other substances (e.g. with skin reactions, itching or urticaria).
Serious skin reactions, including Steven-Johnsons syndrome, have rarely been reported in association with the use of acetylsalicylic acid (see section 4.8). Dispersible Aspirin 75 mg Tablets should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or any other sign of hypersensitivity.
Elderly patients are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of NSAIDs, including acetylsalicylic acid especially gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation which may be fatal (see section 4.2). Where prolonged therapy is required, patients should be reviewed regularly.
Concomitant treatment with Dispersible Aspirin 75 mg Tablets and other drugs that alter haemostasis (i.e. anticoagulants such as warfarin, thrombolytic and antiplatelet agents, anti-inflammatory drugs and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) is not recommended, unless strictly indicated, because they may enhance the risk of haemorrhage (see section 4.5). If the combination cannot be avoided, close observation for signs of bleeding is recommended.
Caution should be advised in patients receiving concomitant medications which could increase the risk of ulceration, such as oral corticosteroids, selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors and deferasirox
