A member asked:
Does 325 mg of aspirin have same protective benefits for heart attack as 81 mg ? is one better than other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
81 usually enough: for most people, 81mg is enough protection without the increased bleeding risk of 325mg. normally you only need 325mg if you have a heart attack or stroke while on 81mg or if you have bypass. but many cardiologists still use 325mg no matter what the studies say.
