View full FDA label ↗Adult Low Dose Aspirin Enteric Coated is a medication used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains, but it won't provide quick relief for headaches or other symptoms that need immediate attention. It works by reducing inflammation and pain in the body. Adults and children aged 12 and over should take 4 to 8 tablets every 4 hours, with a maximum of 48 tablets in a 24-hour period, and it's important to drink a full glass of water with each dose. A key warning is that this medication can cause serious stomach bleeding, especially if you are over 60, have a history of stomach problems, or are taking blood thinners. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult a healthcare professional before using it.
