What is Aspirin 500 and when is it used?

Aspirin 500 contains the active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid. It has pain-relieving, fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Aspirin 500 effervescent tablets are used in adults and adolescents aged 12 and over and weighing more than 40 kg for the symptomatic treatment of acute headaches. Aspirin 500 effervescent tablets are suitable for short-term treatment, i. for a maximum of 3 days of treatment.

Adolescents from the age of 12 only with a doctor's prescription and only as a second-line drug (see "When should you be careful when taking Aspirin 500?")

What should be considered?

Aspirin 500 must not be used for more than 3 days, unless prescribed by a doctor.

Painkillers should not be taken regularly over a long period of time without medical supervision. Long-lasting pain requires a medical check-up.

The dosage specified or prescribed by the doctor must not be exceeded.

It's also important to remember that long-term use of painkillers can itself contribute to headache persistence.

Long-term use of painkillers, especially when taking several painkillers in combination, can lead to permanent kidney damage with the risk of kidney failure.

When should Aspirin 500 not be taken / used?

You must not use Aspirin 500 in the following cases:

  • If you are allergic to any of the ingredients or have had shortness of breath or an allergy-like skin reaction after taking acetylsalicylic acid, other salicylates or other pain or rheumatism medicines, so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • If you suffer from a stomach and/or duodenal ulcer or have gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • If you have chronic intestinal inflammation (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).
  • If you have a pathologically increased tendency to bleed.
  • Severely impaired liver or kidney function.
  • Severe heart failure.
  • For the treatment of pain after coronary bypass surgery heart (or use of a heart-lung machine).
  • If you have to take methotrexate at a dose of more than 15 mg per week at the same time.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding (see also the section «Can Aspirin 500 be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?»).
  • For children under the age of 12.

When is caution required when taking / using Aspirin 500?

During treatment with Aspirin 500, mucosal ulcers in the upper gastrointestinal tract, rarely bleeding or, in isolated cases, perforations (gastrointestinal - breakthroughs) occur. 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.

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 500 on 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 suffered from 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 500 can affect the way your kidneys work, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure and/or fluid retention (oedema).
  • If you have liver problems.

For asthma, hives, nasal polyps, hay fever or other allergies, for a rare hereditary disease of the red blood cells, the so-called "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency" and for treatment with anticoagulants ("blood thinners “, anticoagulants) or blood pressure lowering agents (antihypertensives) should only be taken according to strict instructions from the doctor.

Adolescents from the age of 12 with fever, flu, chickenpox or other viral diseases may only take Aspirin 500 on the doctor's instructions and only as a second-line drug. If these diseases lead to disorders of consciousness with vomiting or after they have disappeared, the doctor should be consulted immediately.

With simultaneous and prolonged use of Aspirin 500, the effect of cortisone preparations, anticonvulsants (antiepileptics), blood thinners, digoxin and lithium preparations against depression can be increased. There may be an increase in the undesirable effects of these medicines. The effect of gout medicines (Probenecid and Sulfinpyrazone), water tablets (diuretics) and medicines for high blood pressure can be reduced. The use of anti-rheumatic drugs or methotrexate (which is taken for chronic polyarthritis, for example; see also the section "When should Aspirin 500 not be used?") may result in an increase in the undesirable effects.

Aspirin 500 can increase the risk of bleeding if you take cortisone preparations, alcohol or drugs from the group of so-called serotonin reuptake inhibitors for depression.

If you take Aspirin 500 and antidiabetics (e.g. insulin, sulfonylureas) at the same time, the blood sugar level can drop.

Even in small doses, acetylsalicylic acid reduces the excretion of uric acid. This can trigger gout in patients who already have low uric acid excretion.

In conditions with an increased risk of bleeding (e.g. menstrual bleeding or injuries), caution is required, especially during and after surgical interventions (including minor interventions such as tooth extractions) there may be an increased tendency to bleed.

Your doctor or dentist should be asked or informed about taking it before surgery.

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 taking Aspirin 500 and seek medical attention immediately, as these may be the first signs of a very serious skin reaction (see « What side effects can Aspirin 500 have?» ).

This medicine contains 543.9 mg sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) per tablet. This equates to 27% of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are on a low-salt (low-sodium) diet.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you

  • suffer from other illnesses
  • have allergies or
  • take other medicines (including those you bought yourself!).
