Directions for use Acetylsalicylic acid Mylan 100mg box of 30 gastro-resistant tablets
Swallow it without chewing with a glass of water. The prescribed dose for an adult is 100 mg per day. The active substance is released in the intestine and not in the stomach, which minimizes the risk of gastric irritation.
An overdose of aspirin can cause allergic accidents with the following symptoms: asthma, edema and/or urticaria. It can also cause hemorrhaging of the digestive tract, which manifests itself as black stools, blood loss and bloody vomiting, which can lead to anemia. Sometimes it can cause abdominal pain, gastritis, bleeding of the teeth and nose to varying degrees.

Prolonged use of acetylsalicylic acid is subject to the advice of a doctor depending on the patient's health condition. In cases of gout, asthma, duodenum, stomach ulcer, moderate liver failure or kidney failure, certain precautions should be taken. Aspirin is not a harmless drug. Taking it can cause a lot of blood to flow during your period. It should also be avoided for at least one week before surgery or tooth extraction.

The same applies if you have asthma, chronic respiratory disease, allergic rhinitis or inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes.
