If anybody out there familiar with powdered aspirin, i.e. Stanback or B.C. Powders, is there any danger to taking them nasally? Powdered aspirin gets absorbed in the bloodstream much faster the aspirin in pill form. The taste is not to pleasing, but I found if you take with orange juice that the citrus acid (I guess that what does it) knocks almost all of the bad taste out of it. The ingredients in Stanback powdered aspirin are: 650 mg Aspirin, 32 mg Caffeine, and 200 mg Salicylamide. I hope this is enough information for you to provide the best answer you can.

I, For The Most Part Agree With the Above, I don't See Snorting Aspirin as a Big Problem, if Done RARELY. BTW, Ascorbic Acid is Vit. C, Not Aspirin.

dear god, yes. Keep in mind that too much asprin can eat a hole in your stomach if taken regularly. Now imagine what that does to your nose, throat and lungs if you snort it. For one thing, it will burn, very badly and you will stilll taste it from the drainage into your mouth. On top of that it can eat holes in your nose and lungs.. really that should be enough said.

ascorbic acid(aspirin) will damage the nasal tissues.
