Specializes in Cardiology

Depends on procedure: A typical dose would be 81mg, but may be more if a recent cardiac procedure or surgery. You would need to talk with your cardiologist regarding specific information on your particular heart condition.

Ask your Doctor: In the past, the usual dose of Aspirin was 325 mg which is one adult - sized pill. Now there is more evidence that a lower dose such as 81 mg - sometimes referred to as a 'baby dose' Aspirin - is sufficient. But it depends on what condition your doctor is treating. You would need to check with your doctor for his or her advice based on your particular condition.
