Aspergum Gum


Generic Name: Aspirin Gum (AS-pir-in)
Brand Name: Aspergum

Aspergum Gum is used for:

Treatment of aches and pains associated with headache, common cold, and sore throat and for reduction of fever. It may be used to reduce the risk of death and lessen the damaging effects of an acute heart attack. It is also used to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in certain men and women who have already had a heart attack or ischemic stroke. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Aspergum Gum is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting several different chemical processes within the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. It also reduces the tendency for blood to clot.

Do NOT use Aspergum Gum if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Aspergum Gum
  • you are a child or teenager with influenza (flu) or chickenpox
  • you have bleeding problems such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or low blood platelets
  • you have active severe bleeding
  • you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties, dizziness), to aspirin, salicylates (eg, salsalate), tartrazine, or an NSAID (eg, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), probenecid, or sulfinpyrazone because their effectiveness may be decreased by Aspergum Gum

Use Aspergum Gum as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Aspergum Gum.

Important safety information:

  • Do not take Aspergum Gum for more than 10 days for pain or for more than 3 days for fever unless directed to do so by your health care provider.
  • Check with your doctor if fever or pain worsens, redness or swelling is present, or new symptoms occur. If you have a sore throat that is severe, lasts for more than 2 days, or is accompanied or followed by fever, headache, rash, nausea, or vomiting, check with your doctor.
  • Aspergum Gum contains aspirin. Before you begin taking any new prescription or over-the-counter medicine, read the ingredients to see if it also contains an aspirin-like medicine. If it does or if you are uncertain, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
  • If you consume 3 or more alcohol-containing drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take Aspergum Gum or other pain relievers/fever reducers. Aspergum Gum may cause stomach bleeding. Alcohol use combined with Aspergum Gum may increase your risk for stomach bleeding.
  • Aspergum Gum may reduce the number of blood cells that are needed for clotting. To prevent bleeding, avoid situations where bruising or injury may occur. Report any unusual bleeding, bruising, blood in stools, or dark tarry stools to your doctor.
  • Aspergum Gum contains aspirin, which has been linked to Reye syndrome. Do not give Aspergum Gum to children or teenagers during or after chickenpox, flu, or other viral infections without checking with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for more information.
  • Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using Aspergum Gum.
  • Use Aspergum Gum with caution in the ELDERLY because they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially those with a blood coagulation disorder.
  • If Aspergum Gum has a strong vinegar-like smell upon opening, do not use. It means the medicine is breaking down. Throw the bottle away safely and out of the reach of children; contact your pharmacist and replace.
  • Aspergum Gum is not recommended for use in CHILDREN younger than 12 years of age. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.
  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you plan on becoming pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Aspergum Gum during pregnancy. Aspergum Gum is not recommended during the last 3 months (third trimester) of pregnancy due to the potential for fetal harm or complications during delivery. Aspergum Gum is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Aspergum Gum, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.
