or 4 times daily), preferably after meals. Should symptoms

Precautions
Use in Children: The use of aspirin has been implicated in some cases of Reye's syndrome.
Thus, EFPAC is not recommended for patients under 16 years of
age.
Asthmatic or Hypersensitive Patients. Some persons, especially
those with asthma, or chronic rhinitis, exhibit notable
hypersensitivity reactions to aspirin. Thus EFPAC is generally
not recommended for such patients.
Use in Pregnancy: Some
studies suggest that aspirin and other Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) could affect normal formation
and development of foetus, especially during the first three
months of pregnancy. EFPAC is thus not recommended for pregnant
women. |
