Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation of Aspirin 80 mg/5 mL Gastric Tube Liquid is specifically designed for administration via a gastric tube. This method ensures precise and safe delivery of the medication to patients who are unable to take oral medications. This is commonly used in hospital settings or for patients with swallowing difficulties. The formulation is designed to be easily administered through a gastric tube, reducing the risk of choking or aspiration.

Aspirin, the active ingredient in this formulation, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as headaches, muscle pain, toothaches, common cold, and to reduce fever. It is also often used long-term, at low doses, to help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and blood clot formation in people at high risk of developing blood clots.

The 80 mg/5 mL concentration allows for accurate dosing, particularly important in patients with cardiovascular conditions where precise dosing is crucial. The liquid formulation allows for easy administration and rapid absorption, providing quick relief from symptoms. It is also beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets.

As with any medication, it is important for patients and prescribers to be aware of potential side effects and interactions. Common side effects of aspirin include upset stomach, heartburn, drowsiness, and mild headache. Serious side effects are rare but can include bleeding, hearing changes, or allergic reactions. It is important to discuss any concerns or questions with your healthcare provider before starting this medication.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a medication used to treat pain, fever, or inflammation. In this formulation, it is specifically designed for administration via a gastric tube. This is particularly useful for patients who are unable to swallow oral medications, such as those in hospital settings or those with swallowing difficulties. However, like all medications, aspirin can interact with other drugs, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of adverse reactions.

Aspirin may interact with anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, such as warfarin, heparin, or clopidogrel. These medications are used to prevent blood clots, but when taken with aspirin, the risk of bleeding may increase. This can lead to serious complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding or hemorrhagic stroke. Therefore, if you are taking any of these medications, it is important to inform your healthcare provider.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen, can also interact with aspirin. When taken together, they can increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding. In addition, they may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects of certain medications, such as ACE inhibitors or diuretics.

Aspirin can also interact with certain types of antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). When taken together, they can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, if you are taking an SSRI, it is important to inform your healthcare provider.

Other potential interactions include corticosteroids, which can increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects when taken with aspirin, and alcohol, which can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, it is important to limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

It is important to note that this is not a complete list of potential drug interactions. Other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal products, and dietary supplements, may also interact with aspirin. Therefore, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking.

Aspirin is used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain, fever, and inflammation. It can also be used to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots in certain individuals. However, it is important to use this medication under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as inappropriate use can lead to serious complications.

If you have any questions about this medication or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is always here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Aspirin 80 mg/5 mL Gastric Tube Liquid is a specially formulated medication designed for administration via a gastric tube. This formulation is typically used in hospital settings or for patients who have difficulty swallowing. The medication is delivered directly to the stomach, bypassing the oral route, which ensures precise and safe delivery of the drug.

Aspirin, the active ingredient in this formulation, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain, and also to reduce fever or inflammation. It is sometimes used to treat or prevent heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (angina).

When administered, Aspirin inhibits the production of prostaglandins, substances the body makes in response to injury and certain diseases. These substances cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, Aspirin can reduce pain and swelling.

Furthermore, Aspirin has an antiplatelet effect by inhibiting the production of thromboxane, which under normal circumstances binds platelet molecules together to create a patch over damaged walls of the blood vessels.

The liquid formulation of Aspirin is designed to be easily administered via a gastric tube, making it an ideal choice for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills. The liquid form allows for the medication to be absorbed quickly and efficiently into the bloodstream.

Always consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new medication regimen.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
