View full FDA label ↗Aspirin 81mg Enteric Coated Delayed Release is a medication used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains, but it won't work quickly for headaches or other symptoms that need fast relief. 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, 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 children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should not use this product due to the risk of a serious illness called Reye’s syndrome. Additionally, if you take blood-thinning medications, like warfarin, you should consult your doctor before using this medication.
