Cartia 100mg Tablets 84 - Low-Dose Aspirin for Cardiovascular Health

The enteric coating protects the stomach by allowing the aspirin to dissolve in the small intestine rather than the stomach - reducing gastric irritation associated with regular aspirin use during long-term daily therapy.

FAQ: What is Cartia 100mg aspirin used for?

Cartia 100mg is a low-dose aspirin used as antiplatelet therapy to reduce the risk of blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes in people with established cardiovascular disease. It is prescribed or recommended by doctors for secondary prevention in those who have had a heart attack, stroke, or have established coronary artery disease. Do not start taking Cartia without medical advice.

FAQ: Why is the coating important in Cartia?

The enteric coating on Cartia prevents the aspirin from dissolving in the stomach, instead allowing it to pass into the small intestine where it dissolves and is absorbed. This significantly reduces the risk of stomach irritation, ulceration and bleeding associated with long-term aspirin use - important for people taking aspirin daily for cardiovascular prevention over months or years.

FAQ: Can I take Cartia with other medications?

Aspirin interacts with many medications including anticoagulants (warfarin, dabigatran), other NSAIDs, certain antidepressants and blood pressure medications. Always inform your pharmacist and doctor of all medications you take before starting Cartia. Our pharmacist can perform a medicine check to identify any potential interactions with your current medications.
