It's available over the counter in mg tablets and is usually taken in doses of — mg four times a day after food.
Aspirin is also used in low doses 75 mg daily to reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks. This dose doesn't have a pain-relieving effect. Aspirin can cause stomach-related side-effects at higher doses. Such combination therapy always needs to be carefully discussed with your health care provider.
Certain herbal and dietary supplements can also increase the bleeding risk when combined with aspirin. These include:. Drinking alcohol while on daily aspirin therapy may increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Talk to your health care provider about how much alcohol is safe to drink.
If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men. Taking aspirin during a heart attack is safe and recommended. If you think you're having a heart attack, call or emergency medical services.
Don't delay calling for help. Aspirin alone won't save your life if you're having a heart attack. When you call for help, the emergency operator may tell you to chew an aspirin, but will first ask if you have an aspirin allergy or other health conditions that would make taking an aspirin unsafe.
It's OK to chew an aspirin if your health care provider has previously told you to do so if you think you're having a heart attack — but always call or emergency medical services first. Coated aspirin is also called enteric-coated aspirin. It is designed to pass through the stomach and not dissolve until it reaches the small intestine. Coated aspirin may be gentler on the stomach and may be appropriate for some people who take a daily aspirin, especially those with a history of gastrointestinal inflammation or ulcers.
But there's no evidence that taking coated aspirin decreases the chance of developing gastrointestinal bleeding.
Also, coated aspirin may not work as well as plain aspirin when taken at the time of a possible heart attack.
