Option+ ASA 325mg 100 tablets

Option+ ASA 325mg is a higher-dose aspirin medication containing acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at a strength of 325 milligrams (mg). This higher dosage is primarily intended for pain relief, not heart health benefits.

Uses:

• Pain Relief: Provides relief from moderate pain, including headaches, muscle aches, backaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and pain associated with the common cold or flu.

Important Information:

• Consult your doctor before taking Option+ ASA 325mg, especially if:
  • You have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, or asthma.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You are taking other medications, including blood thinners or other pain relievers.
• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of use.
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Taking too much aspirin can increase your risk of serious side effects, including stomach bleeding.
• Stop taking Option+ ASA 325mg and consult your doctor if:
  • You experience stomach pain, heartburn, or bleeding.
  • You have high blood pressure that does not improve with treatment.
  • Your pain worsens or persists for more than a few days.
  • You have any other questions or concerns about using this medication.

Considerations:

• Stronger Pain Relief: Compared to Option+ ASA 81mg, this provides more potent pain relief for moderate pain.
• Increased Risk of Side Effects: The higher dose also carries a greater risk of side effects, particularly stomach upset and bleeding.
• Not for Heart Health: This higher dose is not typically recommended for heart health (blood clot prevention) due to the potential for increased bleeding risks. Low-dose aspirin (like Option+ ASA 81mg) is typically used for that purpose under a doctor's supervision.
