1. WHAT ASPIRIN TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Your doctor has prescribed Aspirin Tablets to treat one or more of the
following
conditions:
•
as a painkiller e.g. to relieve headache and toothache;
•
to reduce fever;
•
as an anti-inflammatory medicine e.g. to treat rheumatoid arthritis;
•
to reduce the likelihood of having a heart attack, if you have
previously had a
heart attack or have angina (severe pain in the chest which may travel
into the
jaw, neck and arms).
Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs). Aspirin works by preventing the release in the body of
substances which
cause pain, inflammation and fever. Aspirin also thins the blood which
helps to reduce
the likelihood of having a heart attack.
These tablets have been specially coated (gastro-resistant coating) to
help minimise
stomach upset and feeling sick (sometimes experienced as side effects
of these tablets –
see Section 4 Possible side effects).
