MedDataToolRegular Strength Enteric Coated Aspirin is used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. You should take it by swallowing the tablets whole with a full glass of water, and adults and children 12 years and older can take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 hours as needed, but not more than 12 tablets in a 24-hour period. A key warning is that it should not be used by children or teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms due to the risk of a serious illness called Reye's syndrome. If you are taking blood thinners, you should consult your doctor before using this medication.
