Program Effective: Through July 9, 2009

Animas would like to invite all qualified pumpers, including those affected by the discontinuation of the Deltec Cozmo® insulin pump, to join the Animas family and experience a unique kind of support and care.

Health Tip #:001 Benefiting From A Daily Dosage of Aspirin?? May 9, 2007 - A study reported by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the effectiveness of a daily dosage of baby aspirin (81 milligrams) to prevent cardiovascular disease is just as effective as adult aspirin (325 milligrams). Also, a daily dosage of baby aspirin is much less likely to cause the most common adverse side affects - bleeding, primarily gastrointestinal bleeding. Researchers concluded that to minimize side effects, every effort should be made to minimize long-term dosage of aspirin, and they pointed out that the optimal regimen for reducing cardiovascular risk for each individual patient is yet to be determined. Until that time, they recommended that all adults who take daily aspirin for this purpose take no more than the lower dosage.
