________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
ASPEN Aspirin Enteric Coated Tablet 100 mg contains acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) in a low dose, enteric coated formulation. It works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of blood clot formation. The enteric coating helps minimize gastric irritation by allowing the tablet to dissolve in the intestine rather than the stomach.
