Cartia helps prevent blood clotting and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. For use under medical supervision only.

Product Detail

Cartia 100mg Tablets help protect you from some of the problems that can be caused by clotting in the blood stream.

The special coating on Cartia tablets prevents the aspirin from being released in your stomach where it could cause gastric upsets. The aspirin is released lower down in the intestines, where it is absorbed gradually in the blood stream. This gradual absorption is believed to be necessary for the best anti-clotting effect.

Size: 168 Pack

WHAT CARTIA IS USED FOR

CARTIA is enteric coated (Duentric) low dose aspirin (100 mg). Low dose aspirin helps reduce blood stickiness, the tendency of blood to clot. CARTIA may be useful if you are at risk of angina, transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs or mini-strokes), stroke (due to a blood clot) or heart attacks if you already have heart or blood vessel disease.

The amount of aspirin in CARTIA is much less than you would need to take for a headache or other pain. If you require medication for temporary relief of these symptoms, please speak to your healthcare professional.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in CARTIA is acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) 100mg. Other ingredients in CARTIA are guar gum, and a coating system including sunset yellow FCF aluminium lake (CI 15985).

CARTIA preparations do not contain sucrose, gluten or tartrazine.

CARTIA is for use under medical supervision only.

STORAGE

Keep the medication in the pack until it is time to use it. Store below 25C. Do not leave it in the car on a hot day. Do not store medicine in the bathroom or near a sink. Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines. Store all medicines out of the reach of children, such as in a locked cupboard.

If you stop taking CARTIA, ask the pharmacist what to do with any doses that are left over.

Always read the label. Incorrect use could be harmful. Follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your healthcare professional.
