Aspirin protect 100 mg tablet

Aspirin Protect 100mg Tablet | 60 Tablets

Heart attacks and strokes do not always come with a warning. For people who have already had one, or whose doctors have flagged them as high risk, daily low dose aspirin is one of the most prescribed preventive measures in cardiology. 

Aspirin Protect 100mg has acetylsalicylic acid in it with a special enteric coating that makes it gentler on the stomach than regular aspirin. We stock it at Hamna Pharmacy and deliver across Pakistan.

What the Enteric Coating Actually Does

Regular aspirin dissolves in the stomach and that is where most of the irritation comes from. The enteric coating on Aspirin Protect is designed differently. 

It passes through the stomach without dissolving and only breaks down in the small intestine where absorption happens without the direct contact with stomach lining that causes ulcers and bleeding. 

For patients who need to take this every single day, that difference matters a lot. We carry this in our Medicine range specifically because long term cardiovascular protection needs a formulation people can actually stick to without dreading it.

Who This Is Prescribed For

Doctors put patients on Aspirin Protect 100mg when the risk of a clot related event is real and specific. That includes people who have already had a heart attack and need reinfarction prevention. 

People who have had an ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack, what most people call a mini stroke, also get prescribed this to lower the chances of it happening again. 

Patients recovering from vascular surgery, bypass procedures, or arterial interventions are another group. It is not a general painkiller and it is not for everyone. 

Your doctor knows your risk profile and that is what the decision should be based on. Patients managing blood pressure alongside heart health can also find Adalat LA 30mg in our range.

How to Take It

One tablet daily is the standard dose for most preventive uses, taken before a meal with a full glass of water. 

Swallow it whole, never crush, chew or break it because that destroys the coating and puts you right back to stomach irritation. 

Some post surgical cases get prescribed a slightly higher dose so always go by what your doctor has written, not the standard.

Side Effects

Stomach discomfort is the most common complaint even with the coating, though it is significantly less than with regular aspirin. Some people notice mild heartburn or nausea especially in the first few weeks. 

More serious is the risk of bleeding, since Aspirin Protect thins the blood it can make cuts take longer to stop and in some cases causes internal bleeding. 

Any blood in stool, unusual bruising or prolonged bleeding after a minor cut should go straight to a doctor. People also managing neurological conditions alongside heart health can check Neurolith SR tablet which we also carry.

Who Should Not Take It

People with hemophilia or other bleeding disorders should not take this. Active peptic ulcers, recent gastrointestinal bleeding, or a known allergy to NSAIDs are all contraindications. 

Not for children under 16. Pregnant women should only use it if a doctor has specifically advised it. We only dispense Aspirin Protect 100mg against a valid prescription.

Aspirin Protect 100mg is listed at PKR 8,000 for 60 tablets at Hamna Pharmacy. We deliver to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and all cities across Pakistan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take it with my blood pressure medicine? 

Some blood pressure medicines interact with aspirin so always tell your doctor everything you are currently on before starting this.

Do I take it forever once my doctor prescribes it? 

For most cardiovascular prevention cases yes, it is a long term daily medicine, but only continue it as long as your doctor is monitoring you and has not advised otherwise.

What if I miss a dose? 

Just take the next one at the regular time, skipping one day does not undo the protection but doubling up to compensate is not necessary or safe.

Is the Aspirin Protect at Hamna Pharmacy original? 

Yes, every pack we carry is sourced from verified suppliers and is 100% original, no substitutes or compromises.
