Adverse Effects of Loprin
Side effects of Loprin (aspirin) are generally mild and infrequent.
Blood and the lymphatic system disorders
Loprin (aspirin) prolongs bleeding time, decreases platelet adhesiveness and, in large doses, may cause hypoprothrombinaemia. Thrombocytopenia may also occur. Bleeding disorders such as epistaxis, haematuria, purpura, ecchymoses, haemoptysis, gastrointestinal bleeding, haematoma and cerebral haemorrhage have occasionally been reported. Fatalities have occurred. Haemolytic anaemia can occur in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD ) deficiency.
Immune system disorder
Hypersensitivity reactions include skin rashes, urticaria, angioedema, asthma, bronchospasm, rhinitis and rarely, anaphylaxis.
Ear & Labyrinth disorder: Tinnitus.
Gastrointestinal disorders
Gastrointestinal irritation is common in patients taking aspirin preparations, and nausea, vomiting dyspepsia, gastritis, gastrointestinal erosions and ulceration have been reported. Anaemia may occur following chronic gastrointestinal blood loss or acute haemorrhage.
