Cautions and Precautions to be aware of before using this product:

Concomitant therapy with other gastric irritants, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents may increase the risk of gastric irritation. 

Aspirin may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when taken simultaneously with corticosteroids or alcohol. 

Aspirin should be used with caution in patients who are hypersensitive to other anti-inflammatory agents or allergens. 

Aspirin should be withdrawn one week before surgery because of the possibility of increasing the bleeding times. 

Some patients, especially asthmatics, those with chronic urticaria, or chronic rhinitis, exhibit notable sensitivity to aspirin which may provoke various hypersensitivity reactions which may include skin eruptions, urticaria, angioedema, paroxysmal bronchospasm and dyspnoea. 

Dizziness, irritation of the gastric mucosa and resultant dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, erosion, ulceration, haematemesis, and melaena may occur. 

It should be administered with caution to patients with impaired renal function, in the presence of severe liver disease, in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, dyspepsia, anaemia and when the patient is dehydrated. 

Aspirin may enhance the activity of coumarin anti-coagulants, methotrexate, oral anti-diabetic preparations, valproic acid and sulphonamides. 

Aspirin diminishes the effects of anti-gout preparations such as probenecid and sulphinpyrazone. 

Barbiturates and other sedatives may mask the respiratory symptoms of aspirin overdosage and have been reported to enhance its toxicity. Prolonged use of high doses may lead to anaemia, blood dyscrasia, gastro-intestinal haemorrhage, and peptic ulceration
