Aspirin and bleeding: One of the functions of aspirin is to bind to platelets and block their function. Consuming aspirin thus increases the risks of internal bleeding, but the risk is still low. This is why heart doctors prescribe aspirin to people with heart disease to help prevent stroke. Changing the dosage or having aspirin with food or water does not change the degree of anti-platelet effects.

Aspirin: Hi, Aspirin works by to put it simply blocking the Platelet therefore changing the dose and eating it with food doesn't decrease the risk of bleeding although the risk is too small to begin with. Good luck.
