Hello and thanks for visiting

It is important not to confuse what is called ‘Immediate’ aspirin with the daily, low-dose aspirin (75mg) taken to reduce the risk of a heart attack. ‘Immediate’ aspirin is a separate, larger dose of aspirin (300mg) taken at the very commencement of a suspected heart attack in which severe chest pain is experienced. ‘Immediate’ aspirin taken at the start of a heart attack can be life saving – even in a patient who has already taken his or her usual daily small dose of the drug.

What causes a heart attack and how aspirin can help

The Case For ‘Immediate’ Aspirin

‘Immediate’ aspirin has been shown to reduce deaths from heart attack by 20-25% and the earlier it is taken during a heart attack, the greater the benefit. If sudden severe chest pain is experienced a single 300mg tablet of dispersible aspirin should immediately be chewed and swallowed, together with a drink of water if readily available.

Aspirin has also been shown to be beneficial if taken for a sudden worsening of anginal pain (unstable angina). A patient who has unstable angina and whose chest pain suddenly becomes worse, or who experiences anginal pain when resting, should also chew and swallow a single 300mg dispersible aspirin without delay.

Dispersible aspirin tablets should not be swallowed whole.

REMEMBER: IF YOU NEED TO TAKE AN EMERGENCY DOSE OF ASPIRIN YOU MUST DIAL 999 FOR AN AMBULANCE FIRST – AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CHEW AND SWALLOW ONE 300mg DISPERSIBLE ASPIRIN UNLESS YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO ASPIRIN.

Indigestion or Heart Attack?

If you are experiencing chest pain, breathlessness and feeling generally unwell and suspect it may be indigestion take an antacid such as Gaviscon® or Rennies®. In the vast majority of cases the symptoms of indigestion will have eased within 10-20 minutes of taking the antacid. If the symptoms persist, spread, or get worse seek immediate medical advice/attention in case it is a heart attack – DO NOT WAIT.
