A member asked:

I had angioplasty ( one stent in om 3 ) 8 yrs back. i was prescribed ecospirin 150 mg initially but now the doctor says 75 mg is enough. pls advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prob fine: 75 mg is probably enough aspirin. Higher doses appear to only give increased bleeding risk.

Dr Miller and 2 doctors agreed
