I have seen Cardiprin for sale at Guardian. I believe it is only available in 100mg tablets which are known as “low dose” aspirin.
These are not normal aspirin, which come in 330mg (normal strength) or 500mg (extra strength) tablets. The 500mg used to be sold here under Bayer brand, but very pricey.
The low dose variety is only for elderly folks who take it daily as a precaution against heart attack or Alzheimer’s disease. It’s not 100% proven science, but I believe there is something to it.
I usually buy normal dose aspirin in the US. Prices used to be as little as 99¢ for 100, but today it’s typically $1.99. After opening I keep them in the dry box so they don’t disintegrate in the humidity.
Indeed, the one i saw was 100mg. I also heard some site saying that if you think you have signs of stroke, pop doses of aspirins before going to hospital (not sure if its true/effective)
My son is an EMT and for sure it is used to prep people who have been hit with a stroke.
Thanks! good to know!

Should be, but would have to be in the appropriate dosage. Difficult to know what that is.

I've also read that chewing aspirin can help save those who are having heart attacks.

I guess at that point of emergency.. take first (within sensible amt, not likle the whole slab), cos limited downside already.

Is this a call to persuade more to get vaccinated? So you can't dine in restaurants if you aren't vaccinated?
