HALFPRIN® AND HEART ATTACKS
It is recommended you follow the following simple steps to increase your chances of heart attack survival:
1. Know the warning signs and symptoms of heart attacks.
2. Get emergency help immediately.
3. Chew and swallow an aspirin product like Halfprin® 162
ASPIRIN AND YOUR HEART
Halfprin® 162 provides the aspirin dosage that FDA guidelines recommend for suspected heart attack. (11) If you suspect you are experiencing a heart attack, time is of the essence. Call 911 immediately. Then, chew and swallow one Halfprin® 162 mg tablet. Aspirin taken within 30 minutes from the onset of a suspected heart attack can increase your survival rate by 23 percent. (20) It has been estimated that up to 10,000 more people would be alive if they had chewed aspirin during their heart attacks. (21)
Chewing a low dose of aspirin — such as Halfprin® 162 — during a suspected heart attack can lessen your chances of permanent damage and fatality. In order to get the active ingredient into your system quickly, you should chew the pill for 30 seconds before swallowing. Research has shown that this method can get the drug into your blood stream within as little as five minutes. (13)
Halfprin® 162 was developed as a result of physicians' prescribing habits, as they frequently advised patients to take half an aspirin or two baby aspirin tablets. (1) As with any medication, consult your doctor before beginning a low strength aspirin regimen.
