Uses of Ascard 150mg Tablets

Low-dose Ascard 150mg Tablets (75 to 150mg) is used every day, on a doctor’s advice, to help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with heart disease, after stents or bypass surgery, or after a stroke. Higher-strength tablets are used for pain, fever and inflammation in adults.

How Ascard 150mg Tablets works

Aspirin blocks the COX enzymes. At low doses this mainly stops platelets from sticking together, which reduces the risk of clots; at higher doses it also reduces the prostaglandins that cause pain, fever and swelling.

Common side effects of Ascard 150mg Tablets include:

• Indigestion or stomach irritation
• Nausea
• Easy bruising or minor bleeding

Get medical help if you have black or bloody stools, vomit blood, have wheezing or swelling of the face, or notice unusual bleeding.

• Do not give aspirin to children under 16 unless a doctor prescribes it, because of the risk of Reye’s syndrome.
