Re: Low dose aspirin
I take Aspirin (81 mg) every other day based on the Nurse study that showed decreased recurrence rates in women taking Aspirin 3-5 times per week. Note that this is a retrospective look at data not a double-blinded placebo controlled trial. There is no evidence-based medicine to back this up althoughI believe they are starting trials or will be doing so in the future. It may turn out to be nothing, but I still take my aspirin!
