Arthritis Pain Relief.

COATED TO HELP PREVENT STOMACH IRRITATION

Each enteric coated tablet contains 500 mg acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).

ADULT DOSAGE: 1 tablet (or 2 tablets on the advice of a doctor only) every 4 to 6 hours, as required.  DO NOT EXCEED 4g ASA (8 tablets) per day.

CAUTION:  There is sufficient drug in this package to seriously harm a child.  Although this is a child-resistant package, store in a safe place out of reach of children.  It is hazardous to exceed maximum recommended dose unless advised by a doctor.

DO NOT ADMINISTER to children or teenagers who have chicken pox or flu symptoms, before a doctor or pharmacist is consulted about Reye’s Syndrome, a rare and serious illness.  Consult a doctor before taking this drug during the last 3 months of pregnancy, or when breast-feeding and/or if the underlying condition requires continued use for more than 5 days.

Designed to dissolve in the small intestine, not the stomach -- helping to prevent stomach irritation, which could be associated with plain or buffered ASA.
