Specializes in Prosthodontics

In regards to the question of whether 81 mg aspirin can be taken every other day for high blood platelets, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider. However, some studies suggest that alternate-day dosing may be effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events while minimizing the risk of bleeding.
