Product Details and Allergens
CARTIA low dose aspirin has a DUENTRIC coating which is designed to protect the stomach from the irritation that can be caused by the aspirin.
The enteric coating on CARTIA tablets prevents the aspirin from being released in your stomach where it could cause gastric upsets. The aspirin is released lower down in the intestines, where it is absorbed gradually in the blood stream.
Low dose aspirin helps reduce blood stickiness, the tendency of blood to clot. CARTIA helps prevent blood clotting and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. For use under medical supervision only. The use of low dose aspirin may be only one component of your medical practitioner’s management plan to prevent you having a further heart attack or stroke. You should discuss this plan with your medical practitioner. Do not substitute other medicines containing aspirin, for this medicine, without first consulting your Pharmacist or medical practitioner.
