A member asked:
Aspirin therapy. too many confusing studies out there. i've been taking a 325 for years for preventive cardiac health. do i need to cut back to 81mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asa: Excellent question, if you have no evidence of disease, then you might consider the 81mg dose. If you have known disease, i'd recommend staying at your 325mg dose.
