Discontinue use immediately in suspected medication overuse headaches, gastrointestinal bleeds, or ulceration. GI bleeding risk may be enhanced by alcohol, corticosteroids and NSAIDs. GI bleeds / ulceration generally have more serious consequences in the elderly. Use special precaution in those with bronchial asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or chronic infection of the respiratory tract. Use caution in undiagnosed migraineurs, or those with atypical symptoms, exclude other neurological conditions; patients with dehydration, gout, reduced uric acid excretion, congestive heart failure, impaired renal or hepatic function/disease, those with depleted glutathione levels (e.g. severely malnourished, anorexic, low body mass index, sepsis or chronic alcohol users) due to risk of hepatic dysfunction/failure, uncontrolled hypertension, severe glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, diabetes mellitus, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia, alcohol dependence, hyperthyroidism, arrhythmia. May mask the signs and symptoms of infection, interfere with thyroid function tests, increase bleeding tendency during/after surgery, cause defects of haemostasis (monitoring is advised).Anticoagulants and medicines that inhibit platelet aggregation should not be used without a doctor’s supervision. Haematological and haemorrhagic effects can occur and may be severe, unusual bleeding symptoms should be reported to their physician. Acetylsalicylic acid can cause sodium and water retention which may exacerbate hypertension, congestive heart failure and renal impairment. Caution, regarding paracetamol, if used at therapeutic doses for a prolonged period or administered concomitantly with flucloxacillin due to increased risk of high anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA), particularly in patients with severe renal impairment, sepsis, malnutrition and other sources of glutathione deficiency (e.g. chronic alcoholism).

Also use with caution if used with other potentially hepatotoxic medicinal products or products that induce liver microsomal enzymes. Should not be given to children and adolescents aged under 18 years unless specifically indicated because there is a possible association between acetylsalicylic acid and Reye’s syndrome.
