A member asked:
What is better to take fish oil or baby aspirin i'm 69 years old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In pills: These have different effects. The fish oil presumably helps with the circulation and health of the heart. The baby aspirin is just to prevent easy blood clotting and can aid in preventing strokes. Fish oil comes in a capsule and you can get baby aspirin (81 mg) in an enteric for which minimizes stomach irritation.
