SIDE-EFFECTS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
Dizziness or irritation of the gastric mucosa and resultant dyspepsia, haematemesis and melaena may occur in some cases. Some persons, especially asthmatics, exhibit notable sensitivity to Aspirin which may provoke various hypersensitivity reactions which may include skin eruptions, paroxysmal bronchospasm and dyspnoea.
It should be administered with caution to patients with impaired renal function, dyspepsia, anaemia and when the patient is dehydrated.
Aspirin may enhance the activity of coumarin anti-coagulants and oral antidiabetic preparations and sulphonamides. Aspirin diminishes the effects of anti-gout preparations such as probenecid and sulphin-pyrazone. Barbiturates and other sedatives may mask the respiratory symptoms of aspirin overdosage and have been reported to enhance its toxicity. Prolonged use of high doses may lead to anaemia, blood dyscrasias, gastro-intestinal haemorrhage, peptic ulceration, and renal papillary necrosis.
The use of Aspirin during the first and last three months of pregnancy is not advised.
Caffeine's side-effects include nausea, headaches and insomnia. Caffeine increases gastric secretions and may cause gastric ulcerations.
