Asaphen 81 mg can be used in adults for the relief of pain, fever and inflammation due to influenza, the common cold, low back and neck pain, headaches, toothaches, sprains, strains, fractures and even arthritis or dental procedures. Asaphen can also play a major role in the protection of your heart. It is a platelet aggregation inhibitor, and thus can also be used to prevent heart attacks and death in those who have already suffered a heart attack, in those with unstable angina or in those with certain heart disease risk factors. It can help reduce the risk of stroke and death in patients with a history of transient ischemic attacks and can even be used in an emergency situation at the first sign of a heart attack to help decrease its duration and severity.

The most common side effects of Asaphen occur in the gastrointestinal system. These include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, but heartburn and dyspepsia may also occur. ASA can also cause the stomach or intestines to bleed or ulcerate; however this is less common when taking a low dose, such as the 81 mg Asaphen. More uncommon side effects include vertigo, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, anemia, urticaria (hives), pruritus (itch), asthma, anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction), drowsiness and mental confusion.

Asaphen is fairly safe to use with most other medications. However, you should not take it, except when given the OK by your physician, if you are also taking other prescription anticoagulants such as warfarin (Coumadin) or while you are drinking alcohol, as these may increase the risk of bleeding due to ASA. Always ask your physician or pharmacist before combining any prescription medications, over-the-counter medications or herbals.
