How do swallow an 81 mm pill is it flexible.

Paracetamol available here is good.

All the Pharmacies have it, sold as 'Aspent-M' 81mg.

Around 30bht for 60 tablets.

No script required.

 

Note to Kwasaki, 81mg aspirin isn't for headaches.

It's to reduce the risk of strokes and/or reduce inflammation in various organs of the body.

Ask for 40mg and take 2.

 

Don't forget, it's 'Ass-pir-inn'.

 

I'm met with blank stares when I asked for 'asprin'.

Thanks So much !!

Yeah I knew people in UK who took a 1/4 of a aspirin pill for heart problems didn't know there was that amount of mg in such a small pill.

Perhaps you have acquired this knowledge from multiple hangovers?

Is it so hard to obtain it there ? I know in some 3rd world countries you really can go to farma shop and obtain basically anything. I do not know about other things but about that - for sure really. I couldn't imagine what it means to get ill somewhat average here then;)

Now, a new review suggests your risk of a brain bleed outweighs any heart benefit that a daily aspirin might bring you. Researchers said the findings support a recent change to guidelines on low-dose aspirin: The blood thinner should now be reserved for people at high risk of heart attack or stroke.
