Caution before taking Disprin Direct Chewable Aspirin:
There is a possible association between aspirin and Reye’s syndrome when given to children. Reye’s syndrome is a very rare disease, which can be fatal. For this reason, aspirin should not be given to children aged under 16 years, unless on the advice of a doctor.
Do not take Disprin Direct if:

Warnings and Precautions
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Disprin Direct if:
- you are allergic to aspirin or any of the other ingredients
- you suffer from asthma.
Other medicines and Disprin Direct
The effect of treatment may be influenced if Disprin is taken together with medicines such as:
- anticoagulants (which thin the blood)
- uricosurics (which promote the elimination of uric acid, e.g, medicine for gout)
- medicine for high blood pressure
- medicine for organ rejection after transplantation
- medicine for cancer or rheumatoid arthritis
- ibuprofen (pain killer)
- Metamizole (a substance to decrease pain and fever) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (blood cells sticking together and forming a blood clot), when taken concomitantly. Therefore, this combination should be used with caution in patients taking low dose aspirin for cardioprotection.
Always speak to a pharmacist or doctor before taking aspirin with another medicine.
