Cartia Duentric Coated Low Dose Aspirin 100 mg
Has your doctor recommended low dose aspirin for heart protection?
Consider a low dose aspirin with a Duentric coating, which is a feature not
found in all low dose aspirins. Cartia's specially formulated Duentriccoating is designed to protect the stomach*.
Cartia Duentric coated aspirin 100 mg is a low dose aspirin designed to
help prevent blood clotting and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke
in patients with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
Why choose Cartia?
Enteric (Duentric) coating
prevents the aspirin from
being released in the
stomach, where it could
cause gastric upsets.
Proven protection for
secondary prevention of heart
attack and stroke in patients
with known cardiovascular or
cerebrovascular disease.
Manufactured in
Dandenong, Victoria.
Understanding How Cartia's Duentric Coating Works
Duentric coated aspirin refers to aspirin tablets that have a coating.
Duentric (enteric) coated means that the tablet has a protective layer
designed to delay where the medicine dissolves, helping the tablet
pass through the stomach before releasing the active ingredient.
By preventing the aspirin from being released in the stomach,
Cartia's Duentric coating means that absorption starts further along
in the duodenum (upper part of the small intestines), where the
aspirin is gradually absorbed into the bloodstream. This approach is
designed to reduce direct contact with the stomach lining and reduce
potential for irritation.
Cartia differs from uncoated low dose aspirin, which begins
absorption in the stomach. Repeated direct contact between aspirin
and the stomach lining has been associated with irritation in some
people. It's important to know that not all aspirin has a Duentric(enteric) coating and not all aspirin is suitable for long-term everyday
use, so check with your doctor or pharmacist which is right for you.
How to take Cartia?
The recommended dose is
one Cartia100 mg low dose
aspirin tablet taken at the
same time every day.
Take Cartia with a glass of
water. Cartia should be
swallowed whole, without
crushing, chewing or breaking
the tablet.
Cartia can be taken with or
without food. Food does not
alter the effects of Cartia.
