Anyone coming over from Australia in the next couple of weeks?

[rightsaid 44]

If anyone is coming over from OZ in the next couple of weeks, could you do me a favour and bring over a packet of Astrix (Asprin) 100mg dossage or a generic brand?

 

I've tried to find it here but they only seem to have Asprin with 100mg but also contain 45mg of Glycine, or in 81mg dosages.

 

Attached is a photo of the Astrix packet. The packs contain 110 tablets and will tie my over until I return back to Sydney in March.

 

If someone can help please PM me and I will send you my phone number and we can arrange to meet when you get here.

 

In the meantime I'll continue taking 2 x 81mg tablets.

 

Alf.

I'm no Doctor but are you sure that's a good idea? I'd be inclined to take just 1 X 81mg until you get your 100mg delivery.

There would be little therapeutic difference with 19 mg. 100 mg is an odd size for preventing heart attacks since 81mg has become the standard. Glycine is an odd ingredient since the average person gets about 25 times that in their everyday diet. It is an unproven anti-stroke amino acid that makes sense in a aspirin/glycine formula. There are studies going back 10+ years saying the combination makes the aspirin alone more tolerable.

 

Still if someone is kid enough to bring in the 100 mg tabs, all is well.

All I'm aware of is I was prescribed 100mg Aprin a day. Now I'm not sure if 81mg is OK. All I'm trying to do is get the correct dosage. Unfortunately the only 100mg Asprin available here comes with 45mg Glycine. Since I wasn't prescribed it and until I talk to my heart specialist I'm much prefer to get a pack of 100mg from OZ where it is the standard.

 

btw, I would have thought 81mg being an odd size not 100mg.

I'm on the 81mg since I had 3 stents put in on 01 Mar 2013

I'm on 100mg, since 1 stent put in on 18th October 2010 (fix a 93% blockage).

The mg dose must be because of the combination of drugs one is on

 

Or OZ has a 100mg standard as opposed to the US at 81 mg

I'm on 75mg after 2 Stents fitted a year ago.

I got the following off the net.

 

Choice of doses of aspirin in Australia

In Australia, aspirin is available as 100 mg tablets (3 preparations, two of which are enteric-coated). The next highest dose available is 300 mg (at least 5 preparations).

That's what I take!

So if you couldn't get 100mg would you just take the 300mg instead?
