low-dose aspirin
Daily cardiac precaution
Low-dose aspirin refers to aspirin taken in small daily amounts—typically 75 to 100 milligrams—for preventive health purposes rather than pain relief.
Doctors commonly prescribe it to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people with cardiovascular disease: My cardiologist put me on low-dose aspirin after the stent.
The dose is much smaller than what you'd take for a headache.
