Low-Dose Aspirin (ASA 81 mg)
Daily 81 mg tablet used for cardiovascular protection

Daily ASA is no longer recommended for most adults who have not had a heart event. It is mostly used in people who have had one or who have a high cardiovascular risk profile. Talk to your pharmacist or prescriber.
It can reduce stomach upset for some patients but it does not eliminate bleeding risk.
Combining adds bleeding risk. Always check with the pharmacist before adding ASA on top of another anticoagulant.
