Please note.
eBay filters do not allow the online sale of Aspir1n! Although we are not including aspir1n with the Aspod, their logarithm picks up on the word and prevents us listing the Aspod. In order to avoid this, we have added an * to the name of the tablet used with the Aspod.

Dispersible Aspirin 300mg is available at good pharmacies in the UK or online.
* Did you know: Chewing and swallowing 'immediate' aspir*n upon onset of a heart attack has been shown to
significantly reduce deaths and subsequent damage to the heart muscle?
The earlier it is taken during a heart attack, the greater the benefit.
_________________________________________________________
AspodĀ® was designed and is made in Britain not China!
It is the only device in the world specifically designed to provide you with instant access to an emergency dose of 300mg soluble/dispersible aspir*n - wherever you are, 24 hours a day, even in the dark!
Small metal barrels, normally seen on a dogs collar, are being sold as tablet holders; these taint the tablet and offer no protection whatsoever to the aspir*n. Unlike the AspodĀ®, which is purpose made, these inferior products will not accept UK 300mg dispersible aspir*n.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We offer a two year pod replacement guarantee and offer you free automated six monthly email reminders to change your aspir*n.
Please Note: Due to regulatory restrictions 300mg dispersible aspir*n is not included with the AspodĀ® device.

The Difference Between Daily & 'Immediate' Aspir*n
It is important not to confuse what is called 'Immediate' aspir*n with the daily, low-dose aspir*n (75mg) taken to reduce the risk of a heart attack. 'Immediate' aspir*n is a separate, larger dose of aspir*n (300mg) taken at the very commencement of a suspected heart attack in which severe chest pain is experienced. 'Immediate' aspir*n taken at the start of a heart attack can be life saving, even in a patient who has already taken his or her usual daily small dose of aspir*n.
About the AspodĀ®
Research shows that it takes 14 minutes for a chewed soluble tablet to produce maximal platelet inhibition, and a swallowed tablet 26 minutes. Demonstrating that, when chewed,
soluble aspir*n is the most effective way of accelerating absorption of aspir*n into the blood and shortening the time required for an anti-platelet effect,
the anti-platelet effect stops an existing clot from worsening.
However, there are several issues connected with carrying soluble aspir*n in pockets, bags or wallets:
* During a suspected heart attack the patient may be unable to locate the aspir*n.
* If located, the patient may be unable to open the aspir*n foil.
* If the patient was unable to administer the aspir*n themselves, it would not be apparent to a āfirst aiderā, that aspir*n was being carried and should be taken as a matter of urgency.
* Aspir*n is extremely susceptible to dampness; this will cause it to lose its stability, become less effective, and may smell of vinegar.
* Aspir*n, is particularly prone to break into smaller particles (friability), and is likely to be powdered when needed and therefore difficult to take.
The ASPODĀ® design team and engineers eliminated these problems during the two year design and development stage. The ASPODĀ® will ensure that,
when needed, an emergency dose of 300mg aspir*n is easily accessible and in a stable condition.The ASPODĀ® device was conceived, designed, and
manufactured in the United Kingdom. It is slim, light, and little larger than a 50p coin. ASPODās unique x2mlockā¢ design means that aspir*n will
remain dry and stable for at least six months once placed in the device. Customers can register their ASPODĀ® online and will be reminded,
via email, to change the aspir*n every six months. These exclusive design features, plus the electronic reminder facility, will ensure that the 300mg dose of
dispersible aspir*n is available, and of optimum efficacy if/when needed.
The ASPODĀ® is manufactured in āpharmacy greenā and made from robust, scratch resistant polymers and designed to fasten onto, or act as, a key ring. In order to
make it easier to add keys onto the ASPDODĀ® key ring, we have moved from the conventional round key ring to a 'G ring'. This has a leading edge, which protrudes
slightly into the centre of the ring, and no pressure is required to open the ring. The ASPODĀ® can also be hung from a belt loop, handbag, sports bag, or rucksack by
using the sturdy metal belt clip supplied. By using custom made (inert) Pharmagraf ā¢ pads, tablet movement and rattle has been eliminated, tablets will not be tainted,
the pads are coloured grey and will not be mistaken for a tablet!
The ASPODĀ® has been designed to have high visibility in order to attract the attention of āfirst aidersā in cases where the patient may be unable to administer the
aspir*n themselves. Also provided with the device is an info-loopā¢. The info-loopā¢ attaches to the ASPODĀ®, and because it is luminous it makes the ASPODĀ® easily accessible, even in the dark. The Info-loopā¢ also carries critical information outlining the correct procedure to be followed in the case of a suspected heart attack. By using a permanent marker pen the patientās name, together with an emergency contact telephone number, can be added to the info-loopā¢. This will provide emergency
services with vital information.
Our mission is to reduce deaths by informing and empowering the public to carry and take, where appropriate, a 300mg soluble aspir*n in the case of a suspected heart attack.
The Case For 'Immediate' Aspir*n
'Immediate' aspir*n has been shown to reduce deaths from heart attack by 20-25% and the earlier it is taken during a heart attack, the greater the benefit.
If sudden severe chest pain is experienced a single 300mg tablet of soluble aspir*n should immediately be chewed and swallowed, together with a drink of
water if readily available.
Aspir*n has also been shown to be beneficial if taken for a sudden worsening of anginal pain (unstable angina). A patient who has unstable angina and whose chest pain suddenly becomes worse, or who experiences anginal pain when resting, should also chew and swallow a single 300mg soluble aspir*n without delay.
Soluble aspir*n tablets should not be swallowed whole.
PLEASE REMEMBER: IF YOU NEED TO TAKE AN EMERGENCY DOSE OF ASPIR*N YOU MUST DIAL 999 FOR AN AMBULANCE FIRST -
AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CHEW AND SWALLOW ONE 300mg SOLUBLE ASPIR*N.
Please note:
The meaning of the terms 'soluble' and 'dispersible' in this context can be considered to be the same
Aspir*n not included.
