If you’re browsing heart attack products, you’re usually looking for low-dose aspirin (commonly aspirin 75mg) in a format that matches advice you’ve already been given. This page includes dispersible aspirin that dissolves in water for easier swallowing, and gastro-resistant (enteric-coated) tablets designed to pass through the stomach before dissolving.
WithAid is a UK based and regulated pharmacy and orders are sent in discreet packaging. To shop safely, keep your routine consistent: choose the same strength and format you’ve been advised to use, then pick a pack size that suits you. If your instructions are unclear, you’re switching format, or you take other medicines (especially blood thinners), speak to a pharmacist or GP before ordering.

How to choose the right option

- Check bleeding and stomach risk if you’ve had ulcers, black stools, easy bruising, or unexplained bleeding.
- Review interactions if you take anticoagulants, other antiplatelets, NSAIDs (including ibuprofen), steroids, or SSRIs.
- Confirm suitability if you have asthma sensitivity, gout, kidney problems, or you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Don’t use online shopping for urgent symptoms: suspected heart attack symptoms need emergency help.

FAQs
Is low-dose aspirin the same as “cardio” aspirin?
They’re both commonly used to describe aspirin 75mg taken as an antiplatelet medicine. “Cardio” often refers to a gastro-resistant brand, so it’s important to match the strength and format you’ve been advised to use.
What’s the difference between dispersible and gastro-resistant aspirin 75mg?
Dispersible aspirin dissolves in water, which some people find easier to take. Gastro-resistant tablets have an enteric coating designed to pass through the stomach before dissolving. If you’re unsure which you need, ask a pharmacist.
Who should avoid aspirin, or should check first?
Some people need extra caution, including those with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, bleeding disorders, aspirin allergy, certain asthma sensitivities, kidney problems, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If any apply, speak to a pharmacist or GP before using aspirin.
Can I switch between 75mg and 300mg aspirin?
Don’t change strength unless you’ve been specifically advised to do so by a clinician. If your directions change, choose the product that matches the updated instructions and ask a pharmacist if you’re unsure.
Can I take aspirin with ibuprofen or other painkillers?
Some painkillers can increase bleeding risk or interfere with aspirin’s effect. If you take other medicines or need regular pain relief, speak to a pharmacist before combining products.
Can I reorder the same aspirin each month?
Many people reorder the same strength and format as part of a consistent routine. If anything changes (new medicines, new symptoms, side effects, or updated clinical advice), check with a pharmacist or GP before you reorder.
When should I seek urgent medical help?
If you think you or someone else may be having a heart attack—such as chest pressure or pain, breathlessness, sweating, nausea, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, neck or back—call 999 immediately. Do not delay to shop online.
