Asprin

Hello.

Quick question. I want to buy some low dose Asprin tables (2.5mg or thereabouts) but where-ever I go I can only find high dose tablets i.e. 300mg.

Any ideas where I might get some from?

I've tried Boots, Wilkinsons, Superdrug.

Thanks

    They are usually behind the counter at a pharmacy - we sold them at our pharmacy in Morrisons - just ask behind the counter for them.

    Good thinking Batman, I might ask at the Boots counter tomorrow :)
  • Low dose aspirin is 75mg. It is only sold in pharmacies (behind the counter). They come in a tub of 100 for about 99p.

  • Hi- you can get the enteric coated aspirin 75mg in packs of 28 or 56. Or soluble aspirin 75mg in packs of 28 or 100.You have to ask at the pharmacy counter for any of them.
