4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Aspirin has an antithrombotic action, mediated through inhibition of
platelet activation, which has been shown to be useful in
secondary prophylaxis following myocardial infarction, and in patients
with unstable angina or ischaemic stroke.
Nu-Seals 75 is indicated wherever prolonged dosage of aspirin is
required. The special coating resists dissolution in gastric
juice, but will dissolve readily in the relatively less acid
environment of the duodenum. Owing to the delay that the coating
imposes on the release of the active ingredient, Nu-Seals 75 is
unsuitable for the short-term relief of pain.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Nu-Seals 75 is for oral administration to adults only.
Antithrombotic action: The usual dose is 75mg, daily. When rapid
absorption is required (e.g., following acute myocardial
infarction), two tablets (150mg) should be taken together and chewed.
The elderly: As for adults.
In general, aspirin should be used with particular caution in elderly
patients who are more prone to adverse events.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective
dose for the shortest duration necessary to control
symptoms (see section 4.4). Treatment should be reviewed at regular
intervals.
Children: do not give to children and adolescents aged under 16 years,
except on medical advice, where the benefit outweighs
the risk (see section 4.4).
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hypersensitivity to aspirin (e.g.- bronchospasm, rhinitis, urticaria)
or to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hypoprothromb
