aspirin therapy
Daily tablet regimen
Aspirin therapy is the regular use of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks, strokes, or other cardiovascular events.
A doctor may recommend aspirin therapy for patients with a history of heart disease or those at high risk: He's been on aspirin therapy since his first heart attack.
The practice has become more controversial as studies weigh blood-thinning benefits against bleeding risks.
