What is proper amt of aspirin to give woman with stroke, history of falls, intercranial hemmorhaghing ?

It depends: The first issue is what type of stroke the patient had - if it was from a clot, a full dose Aspirin may be appropriate. If it is from a bleed, Aspirin may not be indicated at all. Check with your neurologist before starting any new medication. Good luck.

Would AVOID!!: You describe prior bleeding within the brain, and if Aspirin is present, a repeat episode could be catastrophic. Why is Aspirin appropriate, as it does not work well to prevent standard strokes at low dose, and at the higher effective dose, it causes gastritis and ulcers? In my opinion, Aspirin is not useful or appropriate period, and definitely dangerous!

Double Edged Sword: Aspirin, like other anti-clotting agents, does nothing about arterial ds, the most common underlying ds., commonly starting in childhood. Anti-clotting agents only about hopefully reducing clots resulting from plaque rupture or other clot inducing events in blood stream. It also induces mucosal erosions & bleeding, stomach & small intestines, within ~3 days of starting, & increases bleed events.
