have any of you seen this? I think it is called BC powder. Is this something that is offlimits, too? I was thinking it might be safer if it were powdered. Easy to absorb. I plan to ask my doc but thought I would run it by here, too.

LOL BC powders have been around since the time of Moses! It's just that people hardly use it anymore since the advent of pills, capsules and the like. My best friend uses them religiously since they are powdered they act really fast. I would definitely always check with your doctor first though.

Good luck

BC powder or powdered aspirin is still an NSAID. Many individuals mistakenly believe that it is the actual tablet that causes gastric irritation. However, the mechanism of action for such medications is that it inhibits prostaglandins that protect the lining of the stomach. Is this too much info?? In a nutshell, it is not the physical form of the medicine, but how it works in the body that we can't have it. Hope this helps!!

I get it. I am just hoping, I guess!
