MedDataToolAdult Low Dose Enteric Coated Aspirin is used to temporarily relieve 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. For adults and children aged 12 and over, it is taken as 4 to 8 tablets every 4 hours, but you should not take more than 48 tablets in a day unless your doctor says it's okay. A key warning is that it can cause serious stomach bleeding, especially if you're over 60, have a history of stomach problems, or drink three or more alcoholic beverages daily. If you're taking blood thinners, like warfarin, it's important to consult your doctor before using this medication.
