A member asked:
How effective is aspirin (ecotrin) for treating stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very: Studies have shown some value, but the most useful dose is a full aspirin taken four times daily, which almost always causes gastritis. Once daily aspirin is inferior to clopidigrel, and Aggrenox (which contains ASA).
