Carry Aspirin, You Can Save A Life
Thank you for taking the important step to protect yourself and your loved ones from a heart attack emergency. By choosing the Save a Heart Pill Fob, you’re not just carrying a life-saving tool—you’re joining a community dedicated to preparedness and heart health.
Your commitment to being ready for heart attack emergencies makes you a true Heart Hero.
Save A Heart is a Canadian family run business that was founded in 2019. The idea behind the creation of Save a Heart resulted from the loss of our uncle to a heart attack. Had he had ASA on hand, he might still be with us today. Our goal is to improve the survival rates of heart attack victims and prevent other families from experiencing a devastating loss.
Heart attacks are rising at an alarming rate, affecting not only those 45+, but also younger individuals (20-44). If symptoms occur, chewing and swallowing ASA can be lifesaving, buying crucial time. However, many people lack access to Aspirin in critical moments. Carrying a Save A Heart pill fob on your keychain ensures Aspirin is readily available, helping to save a life when it matters most.
Our pill fobs are designed to hold two 325mg Aspirin tablets or four Enteric Coated 81mg tablets. We've discovered that the 81mg chewable Aspirin tends to break apart too easily, posing a risk of the pill breaking within the pill fob. It's worth noting that our pill fob is versatile enough to hold three chewable 81mg Aspirin pills, which fill it enough to minimize breakage.
While the efficacy of the 81mg Aspirin is acknowledged, we recommend a single 325mg pill, which is not marketed as "chewable" but can be easily chewed.
Harvard Medical School has addressed this in a research paper, emphasizing the importance of promptly consuming 325mg of aspirin, stating, "People who suspect they are having an attack require a 325 mg dose of aspirin, and they need it as swiftly as possible. For optimal results, chew a complete 325-mg tablet."
It's essential to note that despite changes in advertising on television, the previous recommendation of chewing one 325mg tablet remains consistent across all research findings.
If you experience any of these signs below call 9-1-1 immediately.

Heart attacks can affect both men and women, but there are some differences in the way that heart attacks can present in men and women.
Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the centre or left side of the chest that either lasts for more than a few minutes or comes and goes. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain. However, women may be less likely to experience the classic symptoms of chest pain and discomfort.
As you may know, Aspirin has an expiry date, and it is important to replace the medicine in your fob when the time comes.
We highly recommend that you set a reminder on your phone or calendar to replace the pills in your fob when they expire (check the bottle of Aspirin for this date). This will ensure that you always have fresh and effective medicine in case of an emergency.
PLEASE READ
* ASA should NOT be given to someone experiencing a stroke as it could worsen their condition.
* ASA should NOT be given to someone with an ASA allergy.
* Always allow the individual experiencing the heart attack to administer their own ASA.
