In patients with coronary artery abnormalities ranging from dilation to large/giant aneurysms, low-dose aspirin should be continued (with or without dual antiplatelet therapy, warfarin or low molecular weight heparin); duration of aspirin therapy is based upon severity of coronary artery involvement; recommend consulting published treatment and institutional guidelines, and expert medical consultation for additional guidance (Ref).

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with SARS-CoV-2

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2 (antiplatelet/antithrombotic effects): Limited data available:

Note: Recommended for all MIS-C patients without active bleeding, significant bleeding risk, or platelet count ≤80,000 cells/mm3 (Ref). Use is based on limited experience in patients with MIS-C, emerging data in adults with COVID-19, and extrapolation from Kawasaki disease and myocarditis (Ref).

Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Oral: 3 to 5 mg/kg/day once daily; maximum daily dose: 81 mg/day; continue until normalization of platelet count, confirmed normal coronary arteries at ≥4 weeks after diagnosis, and ejection fraction >35% (Ref).

Migratory polyarthritis, with carditis without cardiomegaly or congestive heart failure: Oral: Initial: 50 to 70 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses for 3 to 5 days, followed by 50 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses for 2 to 3 weeks, followed by 25 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses for 2 to 4 weeks (Ref); escalation to doses up to 80 to 100 mg/kg/day in 4 or 5 divided doses has been described for arthritis management (Ref).

Carditis and more than minimal cardiomegaly or congestive heart failure: Note: Aspirin should be initiated at the beginning of prednisone taper regimen to prevent rebound inflammation: Oral: 50 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses for 6 weeks (Ref).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Pediatric

Infants, Children, and Adolescents: There are no recommendations in the manufacturer's labeling; however, the following adjustments have been recommended (Ref):

GFR ≥10 mL/minute/1.73 m2: No dosage adjustment necessary.

GFR <10 mL/minute/1.73 m2: Avoid use.

Intermittent hemodialysis: Dialyzable: 50% to 100% (concentration dependent; higher salicylate concentrations are more readily dialyzable) (Ref); administer daily dose after dialysis session on dialysis days (Ref).

Peritoneal dialysis: Avoid use.

CRRT: No dosage adjustment necessary; monitor serum concentrations.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Pediatric

All ages: Avoid use in severe liver disease.

Dosing: Adult

(For additional information see "Aspirin: Drug information")

Note: Avoid regular or frequent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients taking aspirin for cardiovascular protection as these may reduce the cardioprotective effects of aspirin (Ref). Dosing information below is based on the IR formulations; do not use the ER formulation in situations when a rapid onset of action is necessary (eg, ST-elevation myocardial infarction). In patients who require concomitant therapeutic anticoagulation, antiplatelet selection and/or duration of therapy may differ in order to balance risks for thrombosis and bleeding (Ref).

Analgesic and antipyretic

Analgesic and antipyretic: Immediate release: Oral: 325 mg to 1 g every 4 to 6 hours as needed; usual maximum daily dose: 4 g/day (Ref).

Note: If patient cannot take orally, rectal suppositories (300 or 600 mg) are available.

Anti-inflammatory for arthritis associated with rheumatic disease

Anti-inflammatory for arthritis associated with rheumatic disease: Immediate release: Oral: 4 to 8 g/day in 4 to 5 divided doses as needed; titrate dose based on response and tolerability. Continue treatment until symptoms resolve (typically 1 to 2 weeks, but potentially up to 8 weeks). Use of aspirin at these high doses (4 to 8 g/day) may be limited by adverse effects (tinnitus, diminished auditory acuity, GI intolerance), making other available NSAIDs preferred (Ref).

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease:

Acute coronary syndrome:

Note: For rapid onset, non-enteric-coated IR tablet(s) should be chewed and swallowed upon identification of clinical and ECG findings suggesting an acute coronary syndrome. Enteric-coated aspirin is not preferred, since onset of action may be delayed. If it is the only product available, enteric-coated IR tablet(s) may be chewed and swallowed (Ref). For maintenance therapy, any oral formulation is acceptable for use.

Non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes or ST-elevation myocardial infarction:

Note: For initial therapy, administer aspirin in combination with an IV anticoagulant and a P2Y12 inhibitor (Ref).

Initial:

Immediate release (non-enteric-coated): Oral: 162 to 325 mg administered once (chew and swallow) at the time of diagnosis (Ref).

Rectal (alternative route): 600 mg administered once at the time of diagnosis if an IR oral formulation is unavailable or oral route is not feasible (Ref).

Maintenance (secondary prevention):

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Duration of therapy:

Preferred approach: Aspirin plus a P2Y12 inhibitor (dual antiplatelet therapy [DAPT]) should be continued for ≥12 months, unless major bleeding is a concern. For patients at high risk of bleeding or who experience overt bleeding, DAPT for 6 months may be reasonable. If there have been no major bleeding complications after 12 months, continuation of DAPT may be considered. Reevaluate the need for DAPT at regular intervals based on bleeding and thrombotic risks. When DAPT is complete, discontinue the P2Y12 inhibitor and continue aspirin indefinitely for secondary prevention (Ref).

Alternative approach in select patients to minimize bleeding events: Aspirin in combination with a P2Y12 inhibitor (DAPT) should be continued for 1 to 3 months after PCI, then discontinue aspirin and continue P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy. When the P2Y12 inhibitor is discontinued, restart aspirin for secondary prevention (Ref).

Percutaneous coronary intervention for stable ischemic heart disease (off-label use):

Initial:

Note: For initial therapy, non–enteric-coated IR tablet(s) should be administered. Enteric-coated aspirin is not preferred since onset of action is delayed. For patients who receive a coronary stent during percutaneous coronary intervention, administer aspirin in combination with a parenteral anticoagulant and a P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel or ticagrelor; prasugrel is not recommended in this patient population) (Ref).

Immediate release (non–enteric-coated): Oral: 162 to 325 mg given ≥2 hours (preferably 24 hours) before the procedure (Ref).

Maintenance:

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily in combination with clopidogrel or ticagrelor (DAPT); upon completion of DAPT, continue aspirin indefinitely (Ref). Refer to clopidogrel or ticagrelor monograph for information on duration of DAPT.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, primary prevention (off-label use):

Note: Use should be a shared decision between health care professionals and patients ≥40 years of age who are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, after weighing risks versus benefits. Some experts recommend against this use for patients ≥60 years of age (Ref), while others recommend against this use for patients >70 years of age (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, secondary prevention:

Carotid artery atherosclerosis, asymptomatic or symptomatic (off-label use): Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 325 mg once daily (Ref).

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 81 mg once daily beginning preoperatively; continue indefinitely following surgery (Ref). Following surgery, some experts restart aspirin (with or without a one-time, 325 mg loading dose) approximately 6 hours after completion of the procedure or after extubation, whichever comes first (Ref).

Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery:Following surgery, consider adding clopidogrel in combination with aspirin for 12 months then discontinue clopidogrel and continue aspirin indefinitely (Ref).

Patients with acute coronary syndrome followed by coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Administer aspirin in combination with a P2Y12 inhibitor for 12 months then continue aspirin indefinitely (Ref). Some experts do not use P2Y12 inhibitors postoperatively in these patients (Ref).

Ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack:

Note: In patients who receive IV thrombolytic therapy, antiplatelet therapy is generally delayed for at least 24 hours, but administered as soon as possible thereafter (Ref).

Due to intracranial large artery atherosclerosis (50% to 99%), secondary prevention:

Note: Avoid dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with hemorrhagic transformation (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral:

Monotherapy: 325 mg once daily. May consider a short course of DAPT as outlined below. (Ref).

Short-term (90 days) DAPT with concomitant clopidogrel in patients with recent (≤30 days) stroke or TIA due to 70% to 99% stenosis of an intracranial large artery: 325 mg once daily followed by long-term aspirin monotherapy (Ref).

Short-term (21 days) DAPT with concomitant clopidogrel in patients with recent (≤30 days) minor stroke or high-risk TIA due to 50% to 69% stenosis of an intracranial large artery: 160 to 325 mg loading dose followed by 50 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Short-term (21 to 30 days) DAPT with concomitant ticagrelor in patients with recent (≤24 hours) minor stroke or high-risk TIA and >30% stenosis of ipsilateral major intracranial artery: 300 to 325 mg loading dose followed by 75 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Due to other noncardioembolic causes (eg, small vessel disease), secondary prevention:

Note: For patients with recent (eg, ≤24 hours) minor stroke or high-risk TIA, may consider short-term DAPT with concomitant clopidogrel (21 to 90 days) or ticagrelor (21 to 30 days) followed by long-term single-agent antiplatelet therapy with aspirin, clopidogrel, or aspirin/ER dipyridamole. Avoid DAPT in patients with hemorrhagic transformation (Ref).

Initial:

Immediate release: Oral: 160 to 325 mg administered once at the time of diagnosis (Ref).

Rectal (alternative route): 300 mg administered once at the time of diagnosis if oral route is not feasible (Ref).

Maintenance :

Immediate release: Oral: 50 to 325 mg once daily; some experts recommend 50 to 100 mg once daily when used with clopidogrel for DAPT and as long-term single-agent therapy (Ref). When used with ticagrelor for DAPT, 75 to 100 mg once daily is recommended (Ref).

Peripheral atherosclerotic disease (upper or lower extremity; with or without a revascularization procedure) (off-label use): Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Stable ischemic heart disease: Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Carotid artery stenting

Carotid artery stenting (off-label use):

Percutaneous approach:

Initial:

Initiation ≥48 hours before procedure: Immediate release: Oral: 325 mg twice daily in combination with clopidogrel (Ref).

Initiation <48 hours before procedure: Immediate release: Oral: 650 mg once at least 4 hours before procedure in combination with clopidogrel (Ref).

Maintenance:

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 325 mg once daily in combination with clopidogrel for at least 4 weeks, then discontinue clopidogrel and continue aspirin 75 to 325 mg once daily indefinitely thereafter. In patients with history of neck irradiation, some experts recommend continuing aspirin plus clopidogrel indefinitely (Ref).

Transcarotid approach:

Initial:

Initiation ≥72 hours before procedure: Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 325 mg once daily in combination with clopidogrel (Ref).

Initiation <72 hours before procedure : Immediate release: Oral: 650 mg once at least 4 hours before procedure in combination with clopidogrel (Ref).

Maintenance:

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 325 mg once daily in combination with clopidogrel for at least 4 weeks, then discontinue clopidogrel and continue aspirin 75 to 325 mg once daily indefinitely thereafter. In patients with history of neck irradiation, some experts recommend continuing aspirin plus clopidogrel indefinitely (Ref).

Carotid endarterectomy

Carotid endarterectomy: Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 325 mg once daily starting prior to surgery and continued indefinitely (Ref).

Colorectal cancer risk reduction, primary prevention

Colorectal cancer risk reduction, primary prevention (off-label use):

Note: The optimal dose and duration of therapy for colorectal cancer risk reduction are unknown. Utilization should be a shared decision between health care professionals and patients that weighs the risk versus benefits of treatment (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 325 mg once daily (Ref).

Migraine, acute treatment

Migraine, acute treatment (off-label use):

Note: For mild to moderate attacks not associated with vomiting or severe nausea (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 900 mg or 1 g once (Ref).

Pericarditis, acute or recurrent

Pericarditis, acute or recurrent (off-label use):

Note: Aspirin is preferred over other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with ischemic heart disease. If pericarditis occurs secondary to acute myocardial infarction (MI), avoid NSAIDs (other than once-daily, low-dose aspirin for treatment of MI) and use acetaminophen for analgesia. If this does not suffice or if additional pericarditis treatment is necessary after 7 to 10 days, aspirin is preferred and other NSAIDs should continue to be avoided (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: Initial: 650 mg to 1 g every 8 hours until resolution of symptoms for at least 24 hours and normalization of inflammatory biomarkers (eg, C-reactive protein) if monitored; initial therapy typically lasts for ≥1 to 2 weeks. Gradually taper over several weeks by decreasing each dose by 250 to 500 mg every 1 to 2 weeks; during taper, ensure patient remains asymptomatic and inflammatory biomarkers remain normal (if monitored). Use in combination with colchicine. In patients at risk of NSAID-related GI toxicity, prophylaxis (generally with a proton pump inhibitor) is recommended (Ref).

Polycythemia vera, prevention of thrombosis

Polycythemia vera, prevention of thrombosis (off-label use):

Note: Avoid use in patients with concurrent acquired von Willebrand syndrome (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once or twice daily (Ref).

Preeclampsia prevention

Preeclampsia prevention (off-label use):

Note: Consider for use in pregnant women with ≥2 moderate risk factors or ≥1 high risk factor for preeclampsia (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 81 to 162 mg once daily, ideally beginning between 12 to 16 weeks' gestation but may be started up to 28 weeks' gestation; continue therapy until delivery (Ref).

Valvular heart disease

Valvular heart disease:

Surgical prosthetic heart valve replacement, thromboprophylaxis:

Bioprosthetic aortic or mitral heart valve replacement (off-label use): Note: Timing of aspirin initiation is based on bleeding risk. For patients at low risk of bleeding, treat with warfarin monotherapy for 3 to 6 months, then transition to aspirin monotherapy. For patients at elevated risk of bleeding, initiate aspirin within 24 hours of surgery (ie, no initial treatment with warfarin) (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily (Ref).

Mechanical aortic or mitral heart valve replacement (off-label use): Note: Aspirin is required, in combination with warfarin, for patients who receive an On-X mechanical aortic valve. For other mechanical valve types, consider risks of thromboembolism and bleeding before adding aspirin; warfarin monotherapy is typically sufficient. Addition of aspirin is not routinely required in the absence of another indication for antiplatelet therapy (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily in combination with warfarin (Ref).

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement, thromboprophylaxis (off-label use):

Note: Refer to institutional policies and procedures on use of antiplatelet therapy for patients who require therapeutic anticoagulation for a different indication.

Immediate release: Oral: 75 to 100 mg once daily; may use in combination with clopidogrel for 3 to 6 months after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, depending on type of valve implanted (Ref). To minimize risk of bleeding complications, may give aspirin or clopidogrel alone and reserve dual antiplatelet therapy during the first 3 to 6 months for patients at high risk of a thrombotic event; for either strategy, continue aspirin indefinitely after the initial 3 to 6 months of therapy (Ref).

Transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip device, thromboprophylaxis (off-label use):

Note: Patients are generally treated with antithrombotic therapy (antiplatelet or anticoagulant if there is a concurrent indication) for at least 6 months following the procedure.

Immediate release: Oral:

Loading dose: 325 mg once immediately following MitraClip insertion or within 24 hours prior to the procedure; use in combination with clopidogrel (Ref).

Maintenance: 81 mg once daily for at least 6 months; may use as monotherapy or in combination with clopidogrel (Ref).

Venous thromboembolism prevention, indefinite therapy

Venous thromboembolism prevention, indefinite therapy (off-label use):

Note: For use in select patients to prevent recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) if unable to take an anticoagulant. In patients who have completed ≥6 months of anticoagulation and in whom indefinite therapeutic anticoagulation is indicated, aspirin is not recommended since it is less effective (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: 100 mg once daily after completion of a conventional treatment course with therapeutic anticoagulation (Ref).

Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for total hip or total knee arthroplasty

Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for total hip or total knee arthroplasty (off-label use):

Note: This is a hybrid strategy using rivaroxaban followed by aspirin. Limit this strategy to low-risk patients who undergo elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA), ambulate within 24 hours after surgery, and do not have additional risk factors for VTE, indications for long-term anticoagulation, lower limb or hip fracture in the previous 3 months, or expected major surgery in the upcoming 3 months (Ref).

Immediate release: Oral: After a 5-day course of postoperative rivaroxaban prophylaxis, initiate aspirin 81 mg once daily on postoperative day 6 and continue for 9 days for TKA (total duration: 14 days) or 30 days for THA (total duration: 35 days) (Ref).

Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in lower-risk patients with multiple myeloma receiving immunomodulatory therapy

Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in lower-risk patients with multiple myeloma receiving immunomodulatory therapy (eg, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, thalidomide) (off-label use): Oral: 81 to 100 mg once daily during immunomodulatory therapy (Ref).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

The renal dosing recommendations are based upon the best available evidence and clinical expertise. Senior Editorial Team: Bruce Mueller, PharmD, FCCP, FASN, FNKF; Jason A. Roberts, PhD, BPharm (Hons), B App Sc, FSHP, FISAC; Michael Heung, MD, MS

Antiplatelet uses:

Note: In general the benefit of low-dose aspirin outweighs any risk associated with nephropathy or other adverse effects even in the setting of severe kidney impairment; the recommended aspirin dose should not be reduced in any patient with suspected or documented cardiovascular disease, or other antithrombotic indication (Ref).

Altered kidney function: No dosage adjustment necessary for any degree of kidney impairment (Ref).

Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).

Peritoneal dialysis: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).

IR tablets: Administer with food or a full glass of water to minimize GI distress. In situations for which a rapid onset of action is required (eg, acute treatment of myocardial infarction), have patient chew IR tablet.

Preeclampsia (prevention): Administration as an evening dose may be more beneficial than administration in the morning (Ref).

ER capsules: Do not cut, crush, or chew. Administer with a full glass of water at the same time each day. Do not administer 2 hours before or 1 hour after alcohol consumption.

Bariatric surgery: Some institutions may have specific protocols that conflict with these recommendations; refer to institutional protocols as appropriate. Switch to IR formulation.

Rectal: Remove suppository from plastic packet and insert into rectum as far as possible.

Storage/Stability

Store oral dosage forms (caplets, tablets, capsules) at room temperature; protect from moisture; see product-specific labeling for details. Keep suppositories in refrigerator; do not freeze. Hydrolysis of aspirin occurs upon exposure to water or moist air, resulting in salicylate and acetate, which possess a vinegar-like odor. Do not use if a strong odor is present.

Use

Immediate release: For the temporary relief of headache, pain, and fever caused by colds, muscle aches and pains, menstrual pain, toothache pain, and minor aches and pains of arthritis; to reduce the combined risk of death and nonfatal stroke in patients who have had ischemic stroke or transient ischemia of the brain due to fibrin platelet emboli; to reduce the risk of vascular mortality in patients with a suspected acute MI, to reduce the combined risk of death and nonfatal MI in patients with a previous MI or unstable angina pectoris; to reduce the combined risk of MI and sudden death in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris; adjunctive therapy in revascularization procedures (ie, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, carotid endarterectomy) (OTC: All products: FDA approved in adults; refer to product-specific labeling regarding FDA approval in pediatric patients, most products FDA approved in ages ≥12 years). Has also been used for rheumatic fever and antiplatelet effects for adjunctive treatment of Kawasaki disease and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2.

Extended release: Reduce the risk of death and MI in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (eg, history of MI, unstable angina, or chronic stable angina); reduce the risk of death and recurrent stroke in patients who have had an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) (All indications: FDA approved in adults). Note: Do not use extended-release capsules in situations for which a rapid onset of action is required (such as acute treatment of MI or before percutaneous coronary intervention); use immediate-release formulations instead.

Older Adult: High-Risk Medication:

Beers Criteria: Aspirin, when used chronically at doses more than 325 mg, is identified in the Beers Criteria as a potentially inappropriate medication to be avoided in patients 65 years and older (unless alternative agents ineffective and patient can receive concomitant gastroprotective agent) due to increased risk of GI bleeding and peptic ulcer disease in older adults in high risk category (eg, older than 75 years of age or receiving concomitant oral/parenteral corticosteroids, anticoagulants, or antiplatelet agents). In addition, when aspirin is used for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer, it should be used with caution in older adults ≥70 years of age due to increased risk for major bleeding and inconclusive evidence for the benefits of use as primary prevention in older adults with cardiovascular risk factors (Beers Criteria [AGS 2019]).

Pediatric patients: High-risk medication:

KIDs List: Salicylates, when used in pediatric patients <18 years of age with suspicion of viral illness (influenza, chickenpox), are identified on the Key Potentially Inappropriate Drugs in Pediatrics (KIDs) list and should be used with caution due to risk of Reye syndrome (weak recommendation; very low quality of evidence) (PPA [Meyers 2020]).

Adverse Reactions (Significant): Considerations
GI effects

Aspirin use is associated with a 2- to 4-fold increase in upper gastrointestinal (UGI) events, such as symptomatic or complicated gastrointestinal ulcers and GI mucosal damage (Ref). Lower GI (LGI) events have also been reported with chronic aspirin use (Ref). Symptoms can range from mild (dyspepsia) to severe (peptic ulcer disease, gastrointestinal hemorrhage). The use of enteric-coated preparations of aspirin does not decrease the risk of UGI events (Ref).

Mechanism: Dose-related; related to the pharmacologic action; damage to the GI mucosa is typically caused by aspirin's effects on the epithelial and microvascular tissue of the GI tract via inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 and subsequent prostaglandin depletion, which is gastro-protective (Ref). Additionally, aspirin accumulates in gastric mucosal cells, altering the permeability, resulting in an increased risk of ulceration (Ref).

Onset: Varied; topical gastric mucosa toxicity can be seen on endoscopy within minutes of aspirin administration (Ref). Other studies reported GI ulcers after at least 3 months of use (Ref). Risk of GI events is generally seen when beginning aspirin therapy; however, long-term administration of aspirin is associated with a greater risk of GI events (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Dose >100 mg (Ref)

• Bleeding ulcers (Ref)

• Peptic ulcer disease (Ref)

• Concurrent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ref)

• Concurrent corticosteroids (Ref)

• Concurrent dual antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy (Ref)

• Helicobacter pylori infection (Ref)

• Smoking (Ref)

• Excessive alcohol consumption (Ref)

• Older age (>70 years) (Ref)

Hypersensitivity reactions (immediate and delayed)

Hypersensitivity reactions (immediate and delayed) involving the skin (eg, angioedema, urticaria), airways (eg, dyspnea, rhinorrhea), and/or other organs (Ref) have been reported. Clinical phenotypes of aspirin/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) hypersensitivity reactions include aspirin/NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD and NERD), aspirin/NSAID-induced urticaria/angioedema (NIUA), aspirin/NSAID-exacerbated cutaneous disease (NICD) and single NSAID-induced urticaria/angioedema or anaphylaxis (Ref). Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, including drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have also been rarely associated with aspirin (Ref).

Mechanism: Immediate reactions: Non–dose-related; most reactions (ie, AERD, NERD, NECD, NIUA) are nonimmunologic related to inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) with subsequent activation of mast cells and eosinophils causing release of inflammatory mediators including cysteinyl-leukotrienes (cysLTs) (Ref). Some immediate reactions are IgE-mediated (Ref); although, these are rare with aspirin and more common with NSAIDs, where they can be associated with an immediate reaction specific to the specific NSAID or class of NSAID. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, including DRESS, are T-cell-mediated (Ref).

Onset: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions: Rapid; occur within 1 hour of administration but may occur up to 6 hours after exposure (Ref). Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, including DRESS: Varied, by definition occur after 6 hours of exposure but most commonly occur 2 to 8 weeks after initiation (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Presence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, family history of AERD/NERD, and/or severe asthma may increase the risk of AERD/NERD (Ref). The prevalence of NERD in adult patients with asthma is ~10% to 20% (Ref).

• Chronic urticaria increases the risk of NECD (Ref). Aspirin-induced reactions are less frequent and less intense when chronic urticaria is in remission or under control (Ref). Approximately 12% to 30% of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria develop exacerbations of their disease with use of aspirin and other COX-1 inhibitors (Ref).

• Cross-reactivity between aspirin and NSAIDs (with predominant COX-1 inhibition) have been described in patients with a history of NERD, NECD, and NIUA (Ref). Patients who develop a reaction (immediate or delayed) to only aspirin or a single NSAID are often able to tolerate chemically unrelated NSAIDs (Ref).

• Pharmacological cross-reactivity between aspirin and acetaminophen, a weak COX-1 inhibitor, and between aspirin and nonselective COX-2 inhibitors (eg, meloxicam, nimesulide) may occur (Ref). Due to the weak COX-1 inhibitory activity, AERD reactions associated with acetaminophen typically only occur with higher doses such as >4 g/day. Although selective COX-2 inhibitors (eg, celecoxib, etoricoxib) are generally tolerated in patients with AERD or NERD (Ref), pharmacological cross-reactions may occur, especially in patients with histories of urticaria/angioedema (Ref).

• Although earlier reports suggested that tartrazine and aspirin/NSAIDs may cross react, more recent clinical evidence has indicated that tartrazine is well-tolerated in patients with AERD/NERD (Ref)

• Despite structural similarity between aspirin and 5-aminosalicylic acid (ASA) (mesalamine), there is lack of evidence demonstrating occurrence of AERD in association with 5-ASA (Ref)

Adverse Reactions

The following adverse drug reactions and incidences are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified. As with all drugs which may affect hemostasis, bleeding is associated with aspirin. Hemorrhage may occur at virtually any site. Risk is dependent on multiple variables including dosage, concurrent use of multiple agents which alter hemostasis, and patient susceptibility. Many adverse reactions with aspirin are dose related and are rare at low dosages. Other serious reactions are idiosyncratic, related to allergy or individual sensitivity. Accurate estimation of frequencies is not possible.

Frequency not defined:

Cardiovascular: Cardiac arrhythmia, hypotension, tachycardia

Endocrine & metabolic: Dehydration, hyperglycemia, hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia (children), increased thirst, metabolic acidosis

Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal perforation, gastrointestinal ulcer, heartburn, nausea, vomiting

Genitourinary: Postpartum hemorrhage, post-term pregnancy, prolonged labor, proteinuria, stillborn infant

Documentation of allergenic cross-reactivity for salicylates is limited. However, because of similarities in chemical structure and/or pharmacologic actions, the possibility of cross-sensitivity cannot be ruled out with certainty.

Warnings/Precautions

Disease-related concerns:

• Bariatric surgery: ­

– Altered absorption and efficacy: Altered absorption and efficacy may occur. The Tmax of salicylic acid after gastric bypass was observed to be significantly shorter after surgery. Cmax and AUC0-24 were also significantly higher (Mitrov-Winkelmolen 2016). In a mixed surgery population (80% gastric bypass, 20% sleeve), aspirin-induced platelet reactivity was significantly reduced and correlated to the extent of weight loss after surgery (Norgard 2017). ­

– Gastric ulceration: Evaluate the risk vs benefit of aspirin after surgery; if aspirin therapy is continued (eg, cardiovascular indications), use the lowest possible dose with concurrent administration of proton pump inhibitor (PPI); risk of gastric ulceration after gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy may be increased. A population-based study of over 20,000 patients identifying risk factors for marginal ulceration after gastric bypass suggests limited doses of aspirin may not increase risk whereas higher doses may (Sverden 2016). Another study identified that following gastric bypass, there is no significant difference in marginal ulceration rate between those given low-dose aspirin and those not on aspirin; however, long-term PPI therapy (>90 days) was found to significantly reduce marginal ulceration rate in both groups (Kang 2017).

• Bleeding disorders: Use with caution in patients with platelet and bleeding disorders.

• Dehydration: Use with caution in patients with dehydration.

• Ethanol use: Heavy ethanol use (>3 drinks/day) can increase bleeding risks.

• Gastrointestinal disease: Use with caution in patients with erosive gastritis. Avoid use in patients with active peptic ulcer disease.

• Hepatic impairment: Avoid use in severe hepatic failure.

• Renal impairment: Use high dosages (eg, analgesic or anti-inflammatory uses) with caution (NKF [Henrich 1996]; Whelton 2000). Low-dose aspirin (eg, 75 to 162 mg daily) may be safely used in patients with any degree of renal impairment (KDOQI 2005; KDOQI 2007).

Concurrent drug therapy issues:

• Thrombolytics: In the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, avoid aspirin for 24 hours following administration of a thrombolytic; administration within 24 hours increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (AHA/ASA [Powers 2019]; Jauch 2013).

Special populations:

• GI bleed patients: An individualized and multidisciplinary approach should be used to manage patients with an acute GI bleed who are on antiplatelet medications. Aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events should be avoided in most patients with GI bleed who do not have high risk factors for cardiovascular events. However, aspirin for secondary cardiovascular prevention should not be discontinued in patients with established cardiovascular disease, even in the setting of a GI bleed. If held in the setting of a GI bleed, aspirin for secondary cardiovascular prevention should be resumed on the day hemostasis is confirmed by endoscopy (ACG/CAG [Abraham 2022]).

• Pediatric: When used for self-medication (OTC labeling): Children and teenagers who have or are recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should not use this product. Changes in behavior (along with nausea and vomiting) may be an early sign of Reye syndrome; patients should be instructed to contact their healthcare provider if these occur.

• Surgical patients: Patients who have recently undergone percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting or balloon angioplasty should continue antiplatelet therapy until it is safe to temporarily hold treatment. In patients undergoing CABG, aspirin may be continued until the time of surgery. Elective surgery for these patients should be delayed. Patient-specific situations should be discussed with cardiologist (ACC/AHA [Fleisher 2014]; ACC/AHA [Lawton 2022]; AHA/ACC/SCAI/ACS/ADA [Grines 2007]).

Dosage form specific issues:

• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Resistance: Aspirin resistance is defined as measurable, persistent platelet activation that occurs in patients prescribed a therapeutic dose of aspirin. Clinical aspirin resistance, the recurrence of some vascular event despite a regular therapeutic dose of aspirin, is considered aspirin treatment failure. Proposed mechanisms of aspirin resistance include poor adherence with therapy, poor absorption, inadequate dosage, drug interactions, increased isoprostane activity, platelet hypersensitivity to agonists, increased COX-2 activity, COX-1 polymorphism, and platelet alloantigen 2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa. Estimates of biochemical aspirin resistance range from 5.5% to 60% depending on the population studied and the assays used (Gasparyan 2008). Patients with aspirin resistance may have a higher risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who are aspirin sensitive (Gum 2003). Aspirin resistance is likely dose-related but may be influenced by dynamic factors yet to be identified; further research is required.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Do not use aspirin in pediatric patients <18 years of age (APS 2016) who have or who are recovering from chickenpox or flu symptoms (due to the association with Reye syndrome); when using aspirin, changes in behavior (along with nausea and vomiting) may be an early sign of Reye syndrome; instruct patients and caregivers to contact their health care provider if these symptoms occur; patients should be kept current on their influenza and varicella immunizations. Although Reye syndrome has been observed in patients receiving prolonged, high-dose aspirin therapy after Kawasaki disease presentation; it has not been observed in pediatric patients receiving low (antiplatelet) dosing regimens. Patients with Kawasaki disease and presenting with influenza or viral illness should not receive aspirin; acetaminophen is suggested as an antipyretic in these patients, and an alternate antiplatelet agent is suggested for a minimum of 2 weeks (AHA [McCrindle 2017]).

Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide: May decrease the serum concentration of Aspirin. Management: Administer aspirin at least 1 hour before administration of sucroferric oxyhydroxide. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Sulfinpyrazone: Salicylates may decrease the serum concentration of Sulfinpyrazone. Risk X: Avoid combination

Talniflumate: Aspirin may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Talniflumate. Management: When possible, consider alternatives to this combination. Concurrent use is generally not recommended. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Thiopental: Aspirin may decrease the protein binding of Thiopental. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Thrombolytic Agents: Agents with Antiplatelet Properties may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Thrombolytic Agents. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Thrombolytic Agents: Salicylates may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Thrombolytic Agents. An increased risk of bleeding may occur. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Ticagrelor: Aspirin may enhance the antiplatelet effect of Ticagrelor. Aspirin may diminish the therapeutic effect of Ticagrelor. More specifically, the benefits of ticagrelor relative to clopidogrel may be diminished in adult patients receiving daily aspirin doses greater than 100-150 mg daily. Management: Avoid daily aspirin doses greater than 100 mg in adults receiving ticagrelor. Canadian recommendations are to avoid adult daily aspirin doses greater than 150 mg. Daily low-dose aspirin (U.S.: 75-100 mg; Canada: 75-150 mg) is recommended. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Tiludronate: Aspirin may decrease the serum concentration of Tiludronate. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Tipranavir: May enhance the antiplatelet effect of Agents with Antiplatelet Properties. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Urokinase: Agents with Antiplatelet Properties may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Urokinase. Risk X: Avoid combination

Valproate Products: Salicylates may increase the serum concentration of Valproate Products. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Varicella Virus-Containing Vaccines: Salicylates may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Varicella Virus-Containing Vaccines. Specifically, the risk for Reye's syndrome may increase. Risk X: Avoid combination

Vitamin E (Systemic): May enhance the antiplatelet effect of Agents with Antiplatelet Properties. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Vitamin K Antagonists (eg, warfarin): Salicylates may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Vitamin K Antagonists. Management: Avoid as needed use of salicylates in patients taking vitamin K antagonists. Aspirin (80 to 325 mg/day) may be used with warfarin for prevention of cardiovascular events. If coadministering salicylates and vitamin K antagonists, monitor for bledding. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Zanubrutinib: May enhance the antiplatelet effect of Agents with Antiplatelet Properties. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Food Interactions

Food may decrease the rate but not the extent of oral absorption. Benedictine liqueur, prunes, raisins, tea, and gherkins have a potential to cause salicylate accumulation. Fresh fruits containing vitamin C may displace drug from binding sites, resulting in increased urinary excretion of aspirin. Curry powder, paprika, licorice; may cause salicylate accumulation. These foods contain 6 mg salicylate/100 g. An ordinary American diet contains 10-200 mg/day of salicylate. Management: Administer with food or large volume of water or milk to minimize GI upset. Limit curry powder, paprika, licorice.

Reproductive Considerations

Low-dose aspirin has been evaluated to improve live birth rates in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) diagnosed with recurrent pregnancy loss (Hamulyák 2020; Hamulyák 2021). Recommendations for when to initiate treatment differ between guidelines. Some guidelines initiate aspirin prior to conception, while others prefer use of other agents (heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin) in patients planning to become pregnant (ACR [Sammaritano 2020]); ESHRE [Bender Atik 2018]; EULAR [Andreoli 2017]). Use of low-dose aspirin prior to conception in patients with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss but who are not diagnosed with APS is under study (Naimi 2021).

Pregnancy Considerations

Salicylate is present in umbilical cord and newborn serum following maternal use of aspirin prior to delivery (Garrettson 1975; Levy 1975; Palmisano 1969); salicylic acid and other metabolites can also be detected in the newborn urine following in utero exposure (Garrettson 1975).

Fetal outcomes are influenced by maternal dose; low dose aspirin (≤150 mg/day) is not associated with the same risks as higher doses and has a positive effect on some pregnancy outcomes (ACOG 2018; Choi 2021; Turner 2020). Adverse effects reported in the fetus following maternal use of high dose aspirin include mortality, intrauterine growth retardation, salicylate intoxication, bleeding abnormalities, and neonatal acidosis. Use of aspirin close to delivery may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. Adverse effects reported in the mother include anemia, hemorrhage, prolonged gestation, and prolonged labor (Corby 1978; Østensen 1998).

Except when used in lower doses for pregnancy-related conditions, maternal use of aspirin should be avoided beginning 20 weeks gestation (FDA Safety Communication 2020).

Due to pregnancy-induced physiologic changes, some pharmacokinetic properties of aspirin may be altered (Rymark 1994; Shanmugalingam 2019).

Low-dose aspirin is recommended to prevent preeclampsia in patients at high risk (history of preeclampsia, multifetal gestation, chronic hypertension, type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, renal disease, autoimmune disease [systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome]) (ACOG 2018; ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]; FIGO [Poon 2019]) or patients with multiple moderate-risk factors (USPSTF [Davidson 2021]). Use of low-dose aspirin may be considered to prevent preeclampsia in patients with moderate risk factors (including but not limited to BMI >30, family history of preeclampsia, maternal age ≥35 years, social demographic status, in vitro conception) (ACOG 2018; USPSTF [Davidson 2021]). Treatment is started between 12 and 28 weeks' gestation (optimally before 16 weeks' gestation) (ACOG 2018).

In addition to preventing preeclampsia, low-dose aspirin is also recommended to improve other pregnancy outcomes and decrease the risk of thrombosis in patients with a positive antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) test. The addition of heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin may also be needed in patients with obstetric or thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Low-dose aspirin is also recommended for pregnant patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (ACR [Sammaritano 2020]; EULAR [Andreoli 2017]).

Low-dose aspirin, in addition to anticoagulation, may be used to prevent thrombosis in pregnant patients with a mechanical heart valve (ACC/AHA [Otto 2021]). Low-dose aspirin may also be used after the first trimester in patients with low-risk conditions requiring antiplatelet therapy (AHA/ASA [Kernan 2014]).

When needed in doses required for the management of headache or pain, agents other than aspirin are preferred in pregnant patients and use in the third trimester is not recommended (Källén 2016; Saldanha 2021; Shah 2015).

Monitoring Parameters

CBC, iron studies, ferritin, stools for occult blood, and renal function tests with prolonged therapy. Serum salicylate concentration with chronic use; may not be necessary in Kawasaki disease; Note: Decreased aspirin absorption and increased salicylate clearance has been observed in children with acute Kawasaki disease; these patients rarely achieve therapeutic serum salicylate concentrations; thus, monitoring of serum salicylate concentrations is not necessary in most of these children.

Reference Range

Timing of serum samples: Peak concentrations usually occur 2 hours after normal doses but may occur 6 to 24 hours after acute toxic ingestion.

Salicylate serum concentrations correlate with the pharmacological actions and adverse effects observed. See table.

Mechanism of Action

Irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 (COX-1 and 2) enzymes, via acetylation, which results in decreased formation of prostaglandin precursors; irreversibly inhibits formation of prostaglandin derivative, thromboxane A2, via acetylation of platelet cyclooxygenase, thus inhibiting platelet aggregation; has antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties

Pharmacokinetics (Adult data unless noted)

Onset: Immediate release: Platelet inhibition: Nonenteric-coated: <1 hour; enteric-coated: 3 to 4 hours (Eikelboom 2012). Note: Chewing nonenteric-coated or enteric-coated tablets results in inhibition of platelet aggregation within 20 minutes (Eikelboom 2012; Feldman 1999; Sai 2011).

Duration: Immediate release: 4 to 6 hours; however, platelet inhibitory effects last the lifetime of the platelet (~10 days) due to its irreversible inhibition of platelet COX-1 (Eikelboom 2012).

Absorption: Immediate release: Rapidly absorbed in stomach and upper intestine (Eikelboom 2012); Extended-release capsule: Rate of absorption is dependent upon food, alcohol, and gastric pH.

Distribution: Vd: 10 L; readily into most body fluids and tissues; hydrolyzed to salicylate (active) by esterases in the GI mucosa, red blood cells, synovial fluid and blood

Protein binding: Concentration dependent; as salicylate concentration increases, protein binding decreases: ~90% to 94% (to albumin) at concentrations ≤80 mcg/mL (Rosenberg 1981; Juurlink 2015); ~30% with concentrations seen in overdose (Juurlink 2015).

Metabolism: Hydrolyzed to salicylate (active) by esterases in GI mucosa, red blood cells, synovial fluid, and blood; metabolism of salicylate occurs primarily by hepatic conjugation; metabolic pathways are saturable

Bioavailability: Immediate release: 50% to 75% reaches systemic circulation

Half-life elimination: Parent drug: Plasma concentration: 15 to 20 minutes; Salicylates (dose dependent): 3 hours at lower doses (300 to 600 mg), 5 to 6 hours (after 1 g), 10 hours with higher doses

Time to peak, serum: Immediate release: ~1 to 2 hours (nonenteric-coated), 3 to 4 hours (enteric-coated) (Eikelboom 2012); Extended-release capsule: ~2 hours. Note: Chewing nonenteric-coated tablets results in a time to peak concentration of 20 minutes (Feldman 1999). Chewing enteric-coated tablets results in a time to peak concentration of 2 hours (Sai 2011).
