Eco-5 Oral
Generic Name: ASPIRIN - ORAL
Pronounced: (ASP-er-in)
Eco-5 Oral Uses
This medication is used to reduce fever and relieve minor
to moderate pain from conditions such as muscle aches, toothaches, menstrual
cramps, and headaches. It may also be used to reduce inflammation and swelling
in conditions such as arthritis. Aspirin is known as a salicylate and a
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking a certain
natural substance in your body to reduce pain and swelling.
Aspirin is also used in low doses, alone or in combination
with other medications, as a blood thinner to prevent blood clots after surgery
on clogged arteries (e.g., bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy) and to
reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack.
How To Use Eco-5 Oral
If you are taking this medication for self-treatment,
carefully read the product label to make sure this product is correct for you
or your child. You should also read the product label to find recommendations
on the maximum number of tablets you can take in a 24-hour period, and the
maximum length of self-treatment before seeking medical advice. Talk to your
doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about this medication. If you
are taking this medication under the instruction of your doctor, take it
exactly as prescribed.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor,
or, if you are self-treating, follow instructions on the package label. Drink a
full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) with it unless your doctor
tells you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after you have
taken this drug. If stomach upset occurs while taking this medication, you may
take it with food or milk.
If you are taking a sustained-release, enteric-coated, or
long-acting aspirin tablet, be sure to swallow it whole. Do not crush, chew or
break the tablet. Doing so can destroy the action of the drug and increase side
effects.
The dosage and length of aspirin treatment are based on
your medical condition and response to therapy. Consult your doctor before
treating a child younger than 12. This medication should not be taken for
self-treatment of pain for longer than 10 days in adults or 5 days in children.
This drug should not be used in adults or children for fever persisting longer
than 3 days or for sore throat pain lasting longer than 2 days. No more than 5
doses of this medication should be given to a child for pain or fever in a
24-hour period. Do not take more medication or take it for longer than
recommended above unless directed by your doctor. Consult your doctor or
pharmacist if you have any questions.
