Side effects of Ecosprin 75

Most people take low-dose aspirin without serious problems. Because it makes the blood clot less easily, the main risk is bleeding, especially from the stomach.

Uncommon or mild

  • Indigestion or stomach ache
  • Feeling sick (nausea)
  • Bruising more easily
  • Bleeding for longer than usual from small cuts, nosebleeds or bleeding gums

Rare but serious: get medical help

  • Signs of bleeding in the stomach or gut: black, tar-like stools, vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or stomach pain with pale skin and weakness. Get medical help immediately
  • Signs of bleeding in the brain: a sudden severe headache, weakness on one side of the body, confusion, trouble speaking or fits. Call 112 straight away
  • Signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, an itchy raised rash, or difficulty breathing
  • Wheezing, shortness of breath or an asthma attack, especially in people with asthma
  • A serious skin reaction: red skin with blisters or peeling, or sores in the mouth. Get medical help immediately
  • Bleeding that will not stop, blood in the urine, or much heavier periods than usual
  • Ringing in the ears or reduced hearing

Who should be careful

Some people need to check with a doctor before taking low-dose aspirin, or need extra care while taking it.

  • A stomach or duodenal ulcer now or in the past, or past bleeding from the stomach or gut
  • A bleeding disorder such as haemophilia, or a low platelet count
  • Asthma, nasal polyps, or a past reaction to aspirin, ibuprofen or another NSAID, such as wheezing, a rash or swelling
  • High blood pressure that is not controlled
  • Gout: low-dose aspirin can raise uric acid levels and may trigger an attack
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
  • Older age: older people are more likely to have stomach bleeding
  • The coating does not remove the risk of stomach bleeding, because aspirin also affects the stomach lining through the blood
  • Surgery or dental work, including a tooth extraction: tell the surgeon or dentist that you take aspirin. Do not stop it on your own; your doctor will decide whether it should be paused
  • Fever, especially during dengue season: see a doctor and mention that you take aspirin, because aspirin is avoided in dengue
  • Children and teenagers under 16: aspirin is linked to Reye's syndrome
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding: low-dose aspirin is sometimes prescribed in pregnancy, but only on a doctor's advice; higher doses are avoided, especially from 20 weeks

If someone takes too much

Taking one extra tablet by mistake is unlikely to cause harm. Larger amounts of aspirin can be dangerous, causing ringing in the ears, vomiting, fast breathing, confusion and, in severe cases, fits. If someone has taken much more than prescribed, especially a child, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital and take the medicine pack with you.

Common questions

Should I tell my dentist or surgeon that I take Ecosprin 75?

Yes. Aspirin makes you bleed more easily, including after a tooth extraction or an operation. Tell every doctor and dentist who treats you. They will decide, with the doctor who prescribed it, whether to continue it or pause it for a few days. Do not stop it yourself.

Why do I bruise more easily on Ecosprin 75?

Aspirin makes platelets less sticky, so small injuries bleed for longer and bruises appear more easily. This is expected and usually mild. See a doctor if bleeding will not stop, if you have large bruises without a reason, or straight away if you notice black stools or vomit blood.

Can I take Ecosprin 75 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Only if your doctor advises it. Doctors sometimes prescribe low-dose aspirin in pregnancy, for example to lower the risk of pre-eclampsia. Higher doses are avoided, especially from 20 weeks. Small amounts pass into breast milk, so check with your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
