NOT FOR HEART ATTACKS AT THIS STRENGTH
Being sent around the internet is a claim, not by Bayer, that this crystal form would be very useful if you are having a heart attack.
This is not true. Telephone the Bayer help line for the facts.

I called Bayer Health Care regarding the product Bayer Crystal Aspirin after a pharmacist advised NOT to take it for an onset of a heart attack. This product contains caffeine & 850 mg of aspirin. Because of these features Bayer recommends that you DO NOT use this product for the onset of a heart attack. The FDA recommends that as little as two 81 mg aspirin is sufficient.

I think even one 81mg is sufficient.
