[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2245830, member: 109113"] Good call, BearDawg. That's why a prescription is required to get the nitroglycerine, and aspirin is an over the counter drug. It's a lot harder for the average guy to screw up with aspirin. Not impossible, but we're talking one-time use here, and only for an episode of chest pain. A guy who is on blood-thinners for atrial fib should make sure that he isn't using aspirin on a daily basis - unless it was prescribed that way as part of the cardiologist's regimen. It can screw up the clotting time and cause all kinds of problems. ( They prescribed that for my mother years ago when she couldn't tolerate coumadin.) Years ago, I worked in the cardiac unit, and I couldn't believe what people would ingest on a regular basis, because so & so had told them "it's good for the heart." Sometimes we could fix their mistakes; sometimes not. Self-prescribing can be bad news. Far better to just talk to the doctor about things like this. The aspirin for chest pain will probably get his "thumbs-up." [/QUOTE]
