MedDataToolEnteric Coated Aspirin Regular Strength is a medication that temporarily relieves minor aches and pains, but it may not 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 can take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 hours while symptoms last, but should not exceed 12 tablets in a 24-hour period unless directed by a doctor. A key warning to keep in mind is that this medication can cause severe stomach bleeding, especially if you are 60 or older, have had stomach ulcers, or take blood thinners. Additionally, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should not use this product due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
