Primary ASCVD Prevention with Low-Dose Aspirin

Adults aged 40-70 years: Consider use of low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg PO qDay) for select adults who are at higher risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), but not at increased bleeding risk (AHA/ACC 2019 Guidelines on Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease)

Adults aged >70 years: Low-dose aspirin should not be administered on a routine basis for primary prevention of ASCVD

Any age with increased bleeding risk: Do not administer low-dose aspirin for primary prevention

Note: There may be select circumstances where clinicians might discuss prophylactic aspirin with adults aged <40 yr or >70 yr in the context of other known ASCVD risk factors (eg, strong family history of premature MI, inability to achieve lipid or BP or glucose targets, or significant elevation in coronary artery calcium score)

            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to aspirin or NSAIDs; aspirin-associated hypersensitivity reactions include aspirin-induced urticaria (HLA-DRB1*1302-DQB1*0609 haplotype), aspirin-intolerant asthma (HLA-DPB1*0301)

            Allergy to tartrazine dye

            Absolute

            • Bleeding GI ulcers, hemolytic anemia from pyruvate kinase (PK) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, hemophilia, hemorrhagic diathesis, hemorrhoids, lactating mother, nasal polyps associated with asthma, sarcoidosis, thrombocytopenia, ulcerative colitis

            Relative

            • Appendicitis, asthma (bronchial), chronic diarrhea, bowel outlet obstruction (for enteric-coated formulations), dehydration, erosive gastritis, hypoparathyroidism

            Cautions

            If self-medicating and pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use; it is especially important not to use ibuprofen at 20 weeks or later in pregnancy unless definitely directed to do so by a doctor; it may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery

            Anemia, GI malabsorption, history of peptic ulcers, gout, hepatic disease, hypochlorhydria, hypoprothrombinemia, renal impairment, thyrotoxicosis, vitamin K deficiency, renal calculi, ethanol use (may increase bleeding)

            Discontinue therapy if tinnitus develops

            Should be taken with food or 8-12 oz of water to avoid GI effects

            Not indicated for children with viral illness; use of salicylates in pediatric patients with varicella or influenzalike illness is associated with increased incidence of Reye syndrome

            Heart Failure (HF) risk

            • NSAIDS have the potential to trigger HF by prostaglandin inhibition that leads to sodium and water retention, increased systemic vascular resistance, and blunted response to diuretics
            • High-dose aspirin (greater than 325mg) should be avoided or withdrawn whenever possible

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregancy

            Avoid chronic or intermittent high doses during pregnancy; may affect maternal and newborn hemostasis mechanisms, leading to an increased risk of hemorrhage

            High doses may also increase perinatal mortality by intrauterine growth restriction and teratogenic effects

            Near term, aspirin may prolong gestation and labor

            Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus may occur if used near term with use of full-dose aspirin

            Seek advice of health professional before using OTC drugs during pregnancy

            Lactation

            Drug enters breast milk; a decision should be made regarding whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue drug, taking into account importance of drug to mother

            Seek advice of health professional before using OTC drugs while breastfeeding

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            ASPIRIN CHEWABLE - ORAL

            (AS-pir-in)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Children's Aspirin

            USES: Aspirin is used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain from conditions such as muscle aches, toothaches, common cold, and headaches. It may also be used to reduce pain and swelling in conditions such as arthritis. Aspirin is known as a salicylate and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking a certain natural substance in your body to reduce pain and swelling. Consult your doctor before giving this drug to a child younger than 12 years. It is very important to keep this and all medication out of the reach of children. Aspirin is a common cause of poisoning in children. (See also Overdose section.)Your doctor may direct you to take a low dose of aspirin to prevent blood clots. This effect reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. If you have recently had surgery on clogged arteries (such as bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy, coronary stent), your doctor may direct you to use aspirin in low doses as a "blood thinner" to prevent blood clots. Aspirin prevents blood clots by stopping certain blood cells (platelets) from clumping together.

            HOW TO USE: If you are taking this medication for self-treatment, follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. If your doctor has directed you to take this medication, take it exactly as prescribed.Chew the tablet thoroughly before swallowing. This medication may also be crushed or swallowed whole. If stomach upset occurs while you are taking this medication, you may take it with food or milk.The dosage and length of treatment are based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Read the product label to find recommendations on how many tablets you can take in a 24-hour period and how long you may self-treat before seeking medical advice. Do not take more medication or take it for longer than recommended unless directed by your doctor. Use the smallest effective dose. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.If you are taking this medication for self-treatment of headache, get medical help right away if you also have trouble speaking, weakness on one side of the body, or sudden vision changes. Before using this drug, consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have headaches caused by head injury, coughing, or bending, or if you have a headache with vomiting that is severe or doesn't stop, fever, and stiff neck. These may be signs of serious medical conditions.If you are taking this medication as needed (not on a regular schedule), remember that pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medicine may not work as well.You should not take this medication for self-treatment of pain for longer than 10 days. You should not use this drug to self-treat a fever that lasts longer than 3 days. In these cases, consult a doctor because you may have a more serious condition. Tell your doctor promptly if you develop ringing in the ears or difficulty hearing.If your condition lasts or gets worse (such as new or unusual symptoms, redness/swelling of the painful area, pain/fever that does not go away or gets worse) or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, tell your doctor promptly.

            SIDE EFFECTS: Upset stomach and heartburn may occur. If either of these effects lasts or gets worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: nausea/vomiting that is severe or doesn't stop, easy bruising/bleeding, difficulty hearing, ringing ears, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), unexplained tiredness, dizziness, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.This drug may rarely cause serious bleeding from the stomach/intestine or other areas of the body. If you notice any of the following very serious side effects, get medical help right away: stomach/abdominal pain that is severe or doesn't go away, black/tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, trouble speaking, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, sudden severe headache.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

            PRECAUTIONS: Before taking aspirin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other salicylates (such as choline salicylate); or to other pain relievers or fever reducers (other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.If you have any of the following health problems, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication: bleeding/blood-clotting disorders (such as hemophilia, vitamin K deficiency, low platelet count), kidney disease, liver disease, stomach problems (such as ulcers, heartburn, stomach pain), aspirin-sensitive asthma (a history of worsening breathing with runny/stuffy nose after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs), growths in the nose (nasal polyps), gout, certain enzyme deficiencies (pyruvate kinase or G6PD deficiency).This medicine may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined with this product, may increase your risk for this side effect. Limit alcoholic beverages, and stop smoking. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for more information.Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Children and teenagers less than 18 years old should not take aspirin if they have chickenpox, flu, or any undiagnosed illness or if they have recently received a vaccine. In these cases, taking aspirin increases the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness. Tell your doctor promptly if you see changes in behavior with nausea and vomiting. This may be an early sign of Reye's syndrome.Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially stomach/intestinal bleeding and ulcers.During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Aspirin is not recommended for use to treat pain or fever during pregnancy. In some cases, low-dose aspirin (usually 81-162 milligrams a day) may be used safely during pregnancy to prevent certain conditions. Talk to your doctor for more details..Aspirin passes into breast milk. When used in large amounts (such as to treat pain or fever), it may harm a nursing infant and breastfeeding is not recommended while using this medication. However, low-dose aspirin for heart attack or stroke prevention may be used if directed by your doctor. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.

            DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.Some products that may interact with this drug include: acetazolamide, other "blood thinners" (such as warfarin, heparin), corticosteroids (such as prednisone), dichlorphenamide, herbal medications (such as ginkgo biloba), ketorolac, methotrexate, mifepristone, valproic acid.Before using this product, consult your doctor if you have recently received certain live vaccines (such as varicella vaccine, live flu vaccine).Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers known as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, naproxen). To prevent an overdose of aspirin, read the labels carefully before taking other pain relievers or cold products to make sure they do not contain aspirin. Ask your pharmacist about using these products safely.Daily use of NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) may decrease aspirin's ability to prevent heart attack/stroke. If you are taking low-dose aspirin for prevention of heart attack/stroke, consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details and to discuss other possible treatments (such as acetaminophen) for your pain/fever.This medication may interfere with certain lab tests (such as certain urine sugar tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure lab personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
