Common questions
Should daily aspirin be taken with food?
As a general practice it's often taken with or after food to be gentler on the stomach. Confirm with your pharmacist or the leaflet.
What if I forget a daily dose?
Don't double up. Check the patient leaflet or ask your pharmacist what to do.
Is daily preventive aspirin the same as taking it for pain?
They serve different purposes and may be different products. If you've been advised to take a daily low-dose aspirin routine, keep it separate from occasional painkillers and follow your prescriber's guidance.
