What is Miniprin?
Miniprin is a salicylate (sa-LIS-il-ate) that is used to treat pain, and reduce fever or inflammation.
Miniprin is sometimes used to treat or prevent heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (angina). This medicine should be used for cardiovascular conditions only under the supervision of a doctor.
Miniprin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information
You should not use Miniprin if you have a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia, a recent history of stomach or intestinal bleeding, or if you are allergic to an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
Miniprin can cause Reye’s syndrome, a serious and sometimes fatal condition in children.

-
a recent history of stomach or intestinal bleeding;
-
a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia; or

if you have ever had an asthma attack or severe allergic reaction after taking Miniprin or an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).

How should I take Miniprin?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor.
Always follow directions on the medicine label about giving Miniprin to a child.
Take with food if Miniprin upsets your stomach.
You must chew the chewable tablet before you swallow it.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open an enteric-coated or delayed/extended-release pill. Swallow it whole.
If you use the orally disintegrating tablet, follow all dosing instructions provided with your medicine.
If you need surgery, tell your surgeon you currently use this medicine. You may need to stop for a short time.
Do not use Miniprin if you smell a strong vinegar odor in the this medicine bottle. The medicine may no longer be effective.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since Miniprin is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. Skip any missed dose if it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115.
Overdose symptoms may include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, vision or hearing problems, fast or slow breathing, or confusion.
What should I avoid while taking Miniprin?
Avoid alcohol. Heavy drinking can increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
If you are taking Miniprin to prevent heart attack or stroke, avoid also taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Ibuprofen can make this medicine less effective in protecting your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, ask your doctor how far apart your doses should be.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using other medicines for pain, fever, swelling, or cold/flu symptoms. They may contain ingredients similar to Miniprin (such as magnesium salicylate, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen).
