300 mg of asirin taken in the early stages of a heart attack has a significant impact on mortality i.e. it saves lives. Putting a tablet in an everpresent keyring with the instructions 'in the event of central crushing chest pain, break open swallow tablet and dial 999' (that's 911 to the Americans)
would be a lifesaver.
You can't do someone much harm with a single asirin and it is an over-the-counter drug so no great problems with selling it.

Perhaps ear-rings that double as defibbrilator padds would be the next logical step. |

Sorry, doktors dont make spellas. |

We (USA) have keychains for carrying pills in (usually nitro). They are made of stainless steel, have a screw top lid and a rubber O ring. |
|
| |
They come in multiple sizes, with or without a medic alert symbol. |
|
| |
I have a friend that carries one with Allegra, Motrin, and gout attack pills in it. |

There is nothing new under the sun I guess. To really get publicity you could put a 'morning after pill' in a key chain. To up the stakes further you would do one with HIV post-exposure prophlaxis. |

Don't worry Doc, they laughed at my idea to have a soup bowl double as a mind control ray deflecting helmet. <= - ) (Just teasing, bun for you.) |

The Aspi-ring should be pirate-themed
as well. |

Too low-tech. I'd prefer a membranous container, implanted into your stomach, that holds an aspirin pill in it. When you have a heart attack, press your belly button and the membrane pops and releases the pill internally. |

I agree phundug. I was thinking
something similar, yet not as cool. Do
HIV post-exposure [prophylaxes] work?
I've heard or such things in my personal
"avoid aids at all costs" research. |
|
| |
HIV Post-exposure prophlaxis 'almost certainly' works but that is as definate an answer as you are likely to get from a doctor. |
|
| |
Why not keep the tablet in a little locked box on the keyring? Then have the keyring monitor your heart rate so whenever something goes wrong, the keyring could unlock the tablet and allow access to it? |
