Aspirin and Your Heart
Today, studies show that a low dose aspirin, like St.
Joseph 81mg Aspirin, can reduce your risk of heart attack by up to 32%.
And, in fact, it may help to reduce the risk of recurrent heart attack.
Our heart's main function is to pump blood and keep it flowing through
your circulatory system. Aspirin therapy may help provide these important
benefits:
- Reduce your risk of a heart attack.
- Reduce your risk of stroke.
- Reduce your risk of dying if taken as soon as a heart attack is suspected.
Remember, aspirin may not be right for everyone. Talk to your doctor
about St. Joseph aspirin therapy to see if it's right for you.
This is especially true if you:
- Have a history of peptic ulcer, liver or kidney disease
- Have uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Have any bleeding disorder
- Have gastrointestinal bleeding
- Are taking blood thinners, such as warfarin (Coumadin)
- Are allergic to aspirin
When you're taking low-strength aspirin, it's important to follow the
directions from your doctor. Each St. Joseph tablet has the 81mg of aspirin
that doctors prescribe most for ongoing cardiovascular benefits.
St. Joseph makes aspirin therapy easy. Whether you prefer St. Joseph
in the pleasant-tasting little orange chewable you remember from childhood,
or our new enteric-coated, easy-to-swallow tablet, every aspirin St. Joseph
makes contains 81mg of pure aspirin.
And when you buy St. Joseph, there's never any confusion at the store
shelf about the tablet strength you're choosing. Talk to your doctor about
St. Joseph 81mg adult aspirin.
