WHAT IS IN YOUR TABLETS?

Each tablet of Nu-Seals 75 contains 75mg of aspirin. The tablets also

Nu-Seals Aspirin is one of a group of medicines called anti-platelet
agents. Platelets are tiny
cells in the blood that cause the blood to clot and are involved in
thrombosis. Nu-Seals Aspirin
can help to prevent (further heart attacks (myocardial infarcts),
unstable angina (a type of chest
pain), or mini-strokes (ischaemic strokes including cerebral transient
attacks) by helping to
prevent blood clots forming.

LINING. TO PREVENT STOMACH IRRITATION, THESE TABLETS HAVE A SPECIAL
COATING (CALLED ENTERIC)

STOMACH.
Nu-Seals Aspirin is not suitable for the short-term relief of pain,
such as headaches or toothache,
because of the low relea

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the secondary prevention of thrombotic, cerebrovascular or
cardiovascular disease and
following by-pass surgery (see below).
Aspirin has an anti-thrombotic action, mediated through inhibition of
platelet activation, which
has been shown to be useful in secondary prophylaxis following
infarction and in patients with
unstable angina or ischaemic stroke including cerebral transient
attacks.
Nu-Seals 75 is indicated wherever high and prolonged dosage of aspirin
is required. The special
coating resists dissolution in gastric juice, but will dissolve
readily in the relatively less acid
environment of the duodenum. Owing to the delay that the coating
imposes on the release of the
active ingredient, Nu-Seals is unsuitable for the short-term relief of
pain.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Nu-Seals 75 is for oral administration to adults only.
Patients should seek the advice of a doctor before commencing therapy
for the first time.
The usual dosage, for long term use, is 75-150mg once daily. In some
circumstances a higher dose
may be appropriate, especially in the short term, and up to 300mg a
day may be used on the advice
of a doctor.
_Antithrombotic action:_
150mg at diagnosis and 75mg once daily thereafter. Tablets taken at
diagnosis should be chewed in order to gain rapid absorption.

_The elderly: _
The risk-benefit ratio of the antithrombotic action of aspirin has not
been fully
established.

people less than 16 years of
age, for example in treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Avoid
in children up to and
including 15 years of age if feverish (see “Special Warning and
Special Precautions for Use”).
