Nu-Seals Cardio 75 contains aspirin. Aspirin is used:
If you take aspirin in high doses or over a long period of time, it can irritate your stomach lining. To prevent stomach irritation, these tablets have a special coating (called enteric) so that the aspirin is not released until it has passed through the stomach.
Aspirin is released slowly from these tablets, so Nu-Seals Cardio 75 is not suitable for the short-term relief of pain, such as headaches or toothache.

If you have taken too many tablets, you should go to your nearest accident and emergency department or contact your doctor immediately. Take any leftover medicines or the empty packet to the doctor to show what you have taken.
