Indications (6)

as stated by Haleon UK Trading Limited

For the treatment of mild to moderate pain including headache, migraine, neuralgia, toothache, sore throat, period pains, symptomatic relief of sprains, strains, rheumatic pain, sciatica, lumbago, fibrositis, muscular aches and pains, joint swelling and stiffness, influenza, feverishness and feverish colds.

as stated by Alliance Pharmaceuticals

Aspirin has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. It can also be used for the secondary prevention of thrombotic cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease and following by-pass surgery in adults (see below).
Aspirin has an anti-thrombotic action, mediated through inhibition of platelet activation, which has been shown to be useful in secondary prophylaxis following myocardial infarction, and in patients with unstable angina or ischaemic stroke including cerebral transient attacks.
Nu-Seals 300 is indicated wherever high and prolonged dosage of aspirin is required. The special coating resists dissolution in gastric juice but will dissolve readily in the relatively less acid environment of the duodenum. Owing to the delay that the coating imposes on the release of the active ingredient, Nu-Seals 300 is unsuitable for the short-term relief of pain.

as stated by G.L Pharma UK Limited

Secondary prevention of myocardial infarction.
Prevention of cardiovascular morbidity in patients suffering from stable angina pectoris.
History of unstable angina pectoris, except during the acute phase.
Prevention of graft occlusion after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
Coronary angioplasty, except during the acute phase.
