Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Take with food if aspirin upsets your stomach. Do not crush, chew, break, or open an enteric-coated or delayed-release pill. Swallow it whole. The chewable tablet form of aspirin must be chewed before swallowing. If you use the orally disintegrating tablet or the dispersible tablet, follow all dosing instructions provided with your medicine. If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using aspirin. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time. Do not take this medicine if you smell a strong vinegar odor in the aspirin 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 aspirin is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are on a schedule, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose. What happens if I overdose? Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include temporary hearing loss, seizure (convulsions), or coma. What should I avoid while taking Halfprin (aspirin)? Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking aspirin. Alcohol may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.

If you must use both medications, take the ibuprofen at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form). Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold, allergy, or pain medication. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or an NSAID.
