Does anyone know if there's an equivalent of baby aspirin in France?

This from Ameli .. 'L'aspirine ne doit pas être administrée chez l'enfant sans avis médical, en raison du risque de survenue d'une maladie rare mais grave, le Syndrome de Reye.' It certainly isn't recommended for children under 12.
Ask at your pharmacy for a suitable replacement.

In fact it's not recommended for under 16s.

I think Calpol is used for infants here but there might be something else as well?

Doliprane paracétamol suspension buvable 2.4%. Enfant 3 à 26 kgs (environ de la naissance a 9 ans). This is what we use for our granddaughter aged 4.

Thanks for your replies but I wasn't enquiring for a baby but for myself! Reading that baby aspirin is advised to help avoid heart attacks and strokes. But it seems it's now called low-dose aspirin. l'aspirine à petite dose (75 à 100 mg)

It always amuses me when people answer the question they think was asked rather than the question that was actually asked 🤣🤣

Kardegic 75 is what I am prescribed. It's an over-the-counter medication.

Why are so many people taking aspirin on a regular basis ?

Your missing the point. The question wasn't how, why, by whom, when. It was simply what is the equivalent?

As well as its well know analgesic properties, aspirin thins the blood. So anyone with a heart problem or with partially blocked arteries can benefit from the blood flowing more freely. Edit to add: The blood thinning properties work at low doses - lower than would provide any worthwhile analgesic properties.

And are usually enteric coated or gastro-resistant type (slow release) for such use.

I had no idea what baby asprin was apart from a childs dose of asprin so what an idiot I am for think it was otherwise. Rather then being amused la pourtaider you should have lied up to your name.
