just seen this and found it very interesting. it is a case with instructions, and medication for rapid response to possibly save someones life in a heart attack situation. has a spot for 4 of .81mg aspirin pills and 3 of .03 mg nitroglycerin pills. follow instructions. the case is small enough to carry in your jeans watch pocket, purse, wallet, or in side cellphone case. in heart attack situation time is very important. it could save your life, family member or stranger at sporting event restaurant, trail ride etc.

cost is $21, gst S/H.

I bought 4.

i see slumberge is supplying 2 to each employee,

Never mind figured it out and ordered. Thanks for posting this


i would have to say the most helpless feeling in the world is watching someone pass away and not being able to do something.

i ordered the nitro pills, most pharmacies don't carry them, but have the spray bottle. good for +/- 2yrs, and reasonable cost, just not as convenient as the pill in the case, also got a supply of low dose asa tablets.

i got extras if anyone is looking for them? pharmacy said the low dose asa pills are most important, hopefully never have a need for them?

Just remember if you give Nitro it drops the blood pressure. Especially spray as it fast acting.

yup, pharmacist said they stock the spray, has a longer shelf life than the pills. also recommended just the asa low dose, take all 4 pills and chew the asa pills as much as possible before swallowing. nitro pills take only one, wait a full 5 mins, if pain has not subsided you can take another, said wait another full 5 minutes, then you can take 1 more if pain is still there, and as quick to hospital as possible, time is important to reduce heart damage. the idea with the pill case is you can always have it on your person, when u need it. that is the intended idea? the spray may be harder for average person to carry all the time. those with heart problems know what medication they need to carry.

problem with Nitro pills is they have a shorter shelf life!

you can also find small keychain containers that you could carry ASA pills in, using cotton batten to cushion, if you don't want to have nitro pills. which would also work well.
