- if you have renal impairment or cardiovascular circulatory failure (for example, renal vascular disease, congestive heart failure, hypovolemia, major surgery, sepsis or major bleeding events), as acetylsalicylic acid may further increase the risk of renal failure and acute renal failure;

- if you need to have surgery (including minor surgery such as tooth extraction): there may be an increased tendency to bleed. Please inform your dentist if you have taken Aspirin CARDIO 100 mg ;

- if you suffer from congenital glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, acetylsalicylic acid may induce hemolysis or hemolytic anemia. Factors that can increase the risk of hemolysis, for example high doses, fever or acute infections.

Special warnings.
