WHY CHEW & SWALLOW ASPIRIN? Time is critical during a suspected heart attack, so chewing and swallowing Bayer Aspirin helps it get into the bloodstream faster. It then works to keep blood flowing and can help prevent further damage to the heart, increasing chances of survival.

When arteries are already narrowed by the buildup of plaque, a clot can block a blood vessel and stop the flow of blood to the brain or heart. Taking a regular dose of aspirin diminishes the ability of your blood to clump together into clots by targeting the body's smallest blood cells.
