Is Chewing Of 325 Mg Aspirin Pills Harmful?
I just spoke with someone from the poison hotline. I accidentally took 1000 mg of uncoated aspirin for chest pain 90 min ago....but it was actually heartburn from a red pepper I ate earlier. It felt like chest pain so I chewed on three 325 mg aspirin pills, thinking the pills were fewer mg each. The woman from the hotline advised I eat some crackers to dilute the acidity. Otherwise, nothing to worry about. I m simply following up here.
