baby aspirin
Low-dose pain reliever
Baby aspirin is a low-dose aspirin tablet, typically 81 milligrams—about a quarter of the standard adult dose.
Originally formulated for children, it's now primarily taken by adults for heart health, as daily low-dose aspirin may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke: My doctor has me on a baby aspirin every morning.
