Does Aspirin Help To Stop A Heart Attack?
Hi, I recently came across an article where it was said in case a person is having heart attack, making them eat aspirin stops the attack. I was wondering if this was true. Also, does the tablet Combiflam contain aspirin and work to create the same effect in stopping a heart attack? If not then what easily available medicine in india does the work? Please advise, this is very important. Regds,

yes aspirin is a wonder drug and it helps in dissolving clot which is the usual culprit in blocking blood supply in narrowed cardiac artery ..but after taling aspirin patient should be rushed to hospital ...aspirin is freely available in india as aspirin or dispirin ...aspirin is just one step in treatment but other medications as STK inj ...angispan tr and BP lowering drugs are more important drugs ..but if a person suspects that he has heart attack he can take aspirin before going to doctor
