Bayer says in its commercials that it can save a person's life who is having a heart attack. So if my husband is having a heart attack, and I'm waiting for the ambulance to arrive, how many asprins should I give him? Thank you.

This would be regular strength asprin.

The dose of aspirin given in a suspected MI is 160 - 325 mg. No more than that and remember to tell the paramedics that also... This is followed in the MI protocol by paramedics and physicians.

If the guy has no allergic reactions to the asprin and that they are extensive conscious and alert than confident it particularly is secure to furnish it. the nicely-known dose for a coronary heart attack is 324mg. in case you do no longer provide it it particularly is probably that EMS workers will provide it to the affected person. NO it does not skinny the blood it makes the platelets much less sticky so as that they are much less probably to reason clotting which might worsen the end results of the middle attack. make specific to tell the EMS team which you gave the asprin in basic terms before their arrival.

You should give him at least 2. Or you could go acording to his weight.
