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. I know nothing about aspirin, but I know how to 😃

It always amuses me when people answer the question they think was asked rather than the question that was actually asked 🤣🤣 If you give half of the information do not be surprised if you get half an answer.

That it was for an adult.
You asked about baby aspirin and quickly got the answer that it is not available except perhaps with a prescription. Your question, as posed was answered.
Low dosage aspirin as you have found is available, but you asked for baby aspirin. You are then surprised that people answered as if the aspirin was for a baby.

My mistake but you get the point.

But I don't agree. The only question to be answered was is there an equivalent to baby asprin. Who it is for is completely irrelevant to the question. If I ask is there an equivalent to diesel, does it matter whether it's for a car, camping car, diesel generator, truck etc. What I intend to do with it is completely irrelevant to the question.

You would laugh so much it probably would not do you any good. I would say we are as bad as each other. But, we are not. I have very sensitive hearing, she has a hearing impairment and bears hearing aids that to all intents and purposes are invisible. other times it gets beyond a joke.

Another, probably unregistered, use for low dose aspirin is in the prevention of Deep Vein Thromboses when flying long-haul. I take 75mg on boarding and a further 75mg 6 hrs into the flight.
Must NOT be taken with warfarin. Or GI bleeding. Or stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, hiatus hernia. Or many other things. In fact, ignore my advice. (Most of my patients probably did anyway!)

You can buy an asprin which only dissolves when it reaches the intestine thus avoiding stomach problems. It's sold over the counter, or on prescription. If only I could remember the name of it. My husband took them for years. They are red heart shaped pills enrobed in something which is resistant to stomach acid.

Enteric coated tablets. Certainly beneficial for those with upper GIT bleeding risks.

Kardegic 75 is what I am prescribed. It's an over-the-counter medication. Kardegic 75 mg is what I was prescribed by my doctor, an Englishman who was one of three in the cabinet medical in Naucelle. It's meant for children and those like me who will always react to side effects. One of it's side effects is severe nose bleeds I know from experience.

I was prescribed a potential killer Pradaxa - a blood thinner. At the time there was no antidote and you could literally bleed to death, as one of John Whitely's patients did. There is now an antidote.
I now am prescribed Kardegic which is indeed normally prescribed for children. When we first moved to Blaye i had massive nose bleeds, so stopped taking it. I resumed intermittently taking it about 2 years ago, so far no nose bleeds.
