A member asked:
Med community say aspirin is a good preventative measure for heart etc health. but someone with immune thrombocytopenic purpura? i assume no? options?

NO: If you are at high risk to develop heart disease, talk to your doctor about measures other than prophylactic ASA. If you are not, then forget about ASA which really doesn't do that much anywhere.
