Is it recomended to take baby aspirine as protection for young people(20 or above in age) and how many times per a week if yes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When you're older: In the United States, aspirin is recommended for the prevention of heart attack & stroke when the benefits outweigh the risks. One's risk for these conditions is not great enough at ages younger than 40 to be worth the risk of bleeding, especially GI bleeding. In the US, aspirin is often recommended for men age 45-79 and women age 55-79. If taken the dose is 81 mg daily or 325 mg every other day.
