The usual dosage is as follows:
1 tablet (75 mg) daily. Gastro-resistant tablets should be taken after a meal - swallowed whole with a small amount of water.
The ACARD gastro-resistant tablet has a coating and does not disintegrate in the stomach, which reduces the irritating effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the gastric mucosa.
