Common side effects of Aspirin Plus C are gastrointestinal discomfort (heartburn, nausea, vomiting, pain).
Rarely, cases of sometimes serious bleeding (brain bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, nose bleeding, gum bleeding, skin bleeding, bleeding of the urinary tract or genitals) have been reported. In these cases, the bleeding time is prolonged by taking Aspirin Plus C. In case of any bleeding, you should consult a doctor promptly. Furthermore, the development of gastrointestinal ulcers may occur, the consequence of which is very rarely a rupture.
Very rarely, the Aspirin Plus C effect may be the reason for an increase in liver enzymes.
If side effects are severe or not listed, a doctor should be consulted.
Prolonged use of Aspirin Plus C may cause a headache, which can lead to permanent pain with continued use of painkillers.
