Also inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking a corticosteroid or a drug containing pentoxifylline or interferon alfa.

Fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy:

Adverse effects on the mother and the unborn child have been demonstrated when aspirin, like other NSAIDs, is used during the last 4 months of pregnancy; the risk exists even with a single intake and even if the pregnancy is full term.

Therefore, except in very specific medical situations, aspirin can only be used occasionally during the first 5 months, and its use is contraindicated from the 6th month.

Breastfeeding:

This drug passes into breast milk. Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment.
