These complications can occur at any time during treatment, even without warning symptoms. To reduce this risk, the smallest effective dose should be used over the shortest possible duration of therapy. Contact your doctor if you have stomach pain and suspect it is related to taking the medicine.

In individual cases, severe skin reactions may occur. If you get a generalized flush of skin associated with pustules and fever, stop taking Aspirin Complex and contact your doctor immediately. See the section «What side effects can Aspirin Complex have?».

Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the medicine than younger adults. It is particularly important that elderly patients report any side effects to their doctor immediately.

You may only take Aspirin Complex with a doctor's prescription and under medical supervision in the following situations:

  • If you are currently being treated by a doctor for a serious illness.
  • If you have previously had a stomach or duodenal ulcer.
  • If you have heart disease or have kidney disease or increased fluid loss, e.g. due to heavy sweating, diarrhea or after major surgery; taking Aspirin Complex can affect the way your kidneys work, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure and/or fluid retention (oedema).

There may be an increased tendency to bleed, especially during and after surgical interventions (including minor interventions such as tooth extraction). The doctor or dentist must be asked or informed about the intake before surgical interventions.

Serious skin reactions have been reported in association with treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The highest risk of such reactions appears to be at the beginning of therapy. If you develop a skin rash, including fever, mucosal lesions, blisters, or any other sign of allergy, you should stop using Aspirin Complex and seek medical attention immediately, as these may be the first signs of a very serious skin reaction (see « What side effects can Aspirin Complex have?» ).
