Question

I'm taking ecospirin 75 every night at 9:30 PM, but sometimes I accidentally miss a dose. I'm worried about what could happen if I skip a day or two. Could you let me know if there would be any side effects or anything I should be aware of?

Missing a dose of ecospirin 75 (aspirin) can increase the risk of blood clots forming in your arteries, which can lead to serious conditions such as heart attack or stroke. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
