In the event of a suspected heart attack, a person places his or her thumb under the protruding tab and index finger on the top of the other tab. When pressure is applied the hinged snap on lid separates, except for the hinge, from the base. This, will make immediately accessible the suggested load of two 325 mg aspirin sitting in the pill cradles of the container base. By inverting the Have-A-Heart unit the two aspirin release into the awaiting hand, and the user then ingests one of these. The user thereby increases dramatically the chance of surviving the heart attack and greatly reduces the damage to the heart muscle. When immediate action is necessary the Have-A-Heart container will be right there on your key ring and easily distinguishable because of its red color and heart shape. | 01-01-2009 |
