Asprin

[Hometeam2016]

Is asprin safe to take ? Instead of paracetomol as I’ve heard it can reduce heart attacks /strokes /blood clots ?

Some people take "low dose" aspirin (81 mg) daily as a preventative for heart episodes. This should be discussed with a physician and not done simply on a lay person's advice. I take it as prescribed by my cardiologist. Great conversation to have with your doctor! Let us know what you find out.

I agree with John, talk to your doctor. I used to take a low dose aspirin daily, but I had to start taking full strength aspirin twice a day for pain management so I had to stop the low dose one. Asprin is safe for the most part, but like anything else, too much of a good thing can be bad.You will also need to consider any other meds you are taking, so best advice is to talk to your doctor.
