lopburi3 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 There was a panic when aspirin was linked to Reye's syndrome in children and believe was totally banned from pharmacy sale for a period of time and those working in drug stores still consider it a dangerous drug and will often not sell unless registered pharmacist is on duty; and more often will just say don't have.

Yes, I take low-dose aspirin everyday as a blood thinner and I remember there was a period of time when it couldn't be found. When I next visited my cardiologist at hospital he had the hospital pharmacy dispense it to me. These days it seems to readily available once again, at least at Fascino.

ignis Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Loads on the internet about people over 45 should take baby aspirin every day....... myself have taken 1x a day since 50, so for 15 years....... yes there was a short spell here when they were band, but that would have been over 1000 days ago, had to ask next door as his brother is a Dr, no problem had another tub within 2 days. no problems these days buy my tub of 1,000 tablets when needed, last tub bought about 6 weeks ago..
