FDA Warning re Bayer Aspirin

The FDA has issued a warning about two over-the-counter (OTC) products made by Bayer.

The FDA is considering the 2 products, Bayer Aspirin with Heart Advantage & Bayer Women's Low Dose Aspirin + Calcium, to be new drugs and that they need to go through the FDA approval process. Additionally, the FDA is concerned because Bayer is selling these over-the-counter, but that they need physician's supervision, and that the included usage instructions are misleading and contradictory.

The FDA recommends that consumers taking either of these types of aspirin contact their doctor to find an approved alternative.

Read the entire press release.
