Aspirin Regimen

Aspirin Use to Control Existing Cardiovascular Disease
Aspirin is an over-the-counter medication commonly used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and reduce inflammation. It is also sometimes used to reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
The aspirin regimen typically involves taking a low dose of aspirin (81 mg to 325 mg) on a daily basis. The specific dose and frequency of aspirin therapy can vary based on individual needs and medical history, so it's important to consult with a doctor to determine the best regimen for you.
Some people should not take aspirin, including those who are allergic to it, have a history of bleeding disorders, or have certain medical conditions. Pregnant women should also avoid aspirin unless specifically advised to take it by their doctor.
It's important to follow the recommended dose and frequency of aspirin therapy as directed by a doctor, and to not take aspirin for an extended period of time without medical supervision. Additionally, aspirin should not be used as a substitute for seeking appropriate medical treatment.
