325 mg daily: The exact dose is not well established. Most patients would take 325 mg of enteric coated Aspirin each day (coating helps reduce stomach irritation) Aspirin is pretty cheap and the generic brands are effective.

81mg: You should be taking 81 mg of enteric coated or chewable asa once daily. You should also be on a beta blocker and a a statin, both of which are available as generic medicines. Talk to your doctor.
