Aspirin Cardio should not be used to treat viral infections in children and adolescents without consulting your doctor. Some viral diseases, especially the flu and chickenpox, carry a risk of Reye’s syndrome, a very rare but potentially life-threatening disorder that requires urgent medical attention. This risk may be increased with Aspirin Cardio. If persistent vomiting occurs in these conditions, this may be a sign of Reye’s syndrome.
For children and adolescents
Aspirin Cardio is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age.
