About Aspirin 50mg Tablet DR

Aspirin use varies according to its strength. In low doses (about 75 mg), Aspirin acts as a blood-thinning or antiplatelet agent used to prevent heart attack and stroke. On the other hand, a high dose (about 325 mg) acts as an analgesic, which helps relieve minor pain.

Low-dose aspirin makes the blood less sticky, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. High-dose aspirin inhibits the activity of the cyclooxygenase (COX) and prostaglandins, which cause pain and inflammation.

In some cases, you may experience side effects like stomach upset, heartburn, drowsiness, mild headache, ankle swelling (oedema), slow heart rate, and nausea. If the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not take Aspirin 50mg Tablet DR if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to prevent any interactions/side effects.
