Benefits of Taking Low Dose Aspirin

–

Cartia® low dose coated aspirin can help prevent blood clotting, and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.1a The benefit of low dose aspirin is that it helps reduce blood stickiness, and the tendency of blood to clot.

Unlike uncoated aspirin, Cartia® has an enteric coating. This prevents the low dose coated aspirin from being released in the stomach: protecting the stomach by reducing the chance of gastric irritation. Cartia® enteric coated aspirin is released lower down in the intestines, where it is absorbed gradually in the blood stream.

Cartia® FAQs

–

Cartia® is a Duentric coated low dose aspirin, and helps prevent blood clotting and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The Duentric coating on Cartia® tablets is designed to stop the aspirin from being released in your stomach where it could cause a stomach irritation. Instead Cartia is release in the upper intestine. This coating does not reduce the effectiveness of aspirin.

When released in the stomach, aspirin may cause stomach irritation. Cartia® has an enteric coating to protect the stomach, as the aspirin is released lower down in the intestines and absorbed gradually into the blood stream.

Cartia® is for use under medical supervision only. If you are not sure whether you should take Cartia®, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
