(Aspirin Delayed Release Tablets, USP)
Enteric Coated Tablets

For arthritic pain and chronic pain... discover Easprin®

Easprin® (975 mg enteric coated aspirin, USP) is indicated in patients who need the higher 15-grain dose of aspirin in the long-term palliative treatment of mild or moderate pain and inflammation of arthritic and other inflammatory conditions.

Easprin®'s enteric coating acts to prevent the release of aspirin in the stomach, allowing the tablet to dissolve in the upper portion of the small intestine. This reduces any gastric irritation that may occur with uncoated aspirin, but it does not delay the onset of action.

Easprin® provides the relief of aspirin, one of the most widely used arthritic pain and chronic pain relievers on the market. In addition, Easprin® offers patients the convenience and practicality of 975 mg of aspirin in a single, delayed-released tablet, which may help to ensure proper schedules and better patient compliance.

Easprin® should not be taken by patients who are allergic to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or by patients who have a history of recent gastrointestinal bleeding or other bleeding disorders (eg, hemophilia). Patients on anti coagulant therapy should use Easprin® with caution since aspirin may depress prothrombin concentration in the plasma and, as a consequence, bleeding time may be increased. Large doses of salicylates may enhance the effect of oral hypoglycemic agents, therefore, such doses should not be used, concomitantly. In addition, Easprin® should be used with caution in patients with asthma, nasal polyps, or nasal allergies.

The following adverse reactions to aspirin have been reported:

• Gastrointestinal: Dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, and/or ulceration.
  
  
• Ear: Tinnitus, vertigo, reversible hearing loss.
