About Cartia

If you've had a heart attack or stroke, or someone close to you has, you may have been told about the benefits of taking a daily, low dose aspirin. This is because low dose aspirin helps thin the blood, and has been proven to help lower the risk of another heart attack or stroke.

However, aspirin is generally released in the stomach and may cause irritation to the stomach lining.

Cartia low dose aspirin has a special Duentric^® coating designed to prevent it from being released in the stomach, so that it is released lower in the intestine. By releasing aspirin lower in the intestine, Cartia helps to minimise irritation to the stomach lining.

So if you, or a person you care for, has been advised to take a daily low dose aspirin, consider Cartia - the low dose aspirin designed to protect the stomach.

If you had a heart attack or stroke, speak to your doctor about how Cartia can help you.
