Q: Is Disprin good for heart patients? Can Disprin be used instead of Ecosprin on a daily basis?

A:Disprin and Ecosprin are brand names; both contain Aspirin. It is available in many strengths. Low-dose Aspirin is used to make blood thinner so that it does not clot and is prescribed in conditions such as angina. It is not a tonic and must not be taken without doctors advice, since it cannot be used in some conditions apart from having side effects, special precautions, drug interactions, etc.
