what dose aspirin are you on ????

[Greg a]

I always thought that DAILY aspirin was in the 75-85 range but talking on the phone with one of our own he was saying that he is on 325mg and bleeds at mosquitos and black fies ??????????????

 

[chris.c]

That would be me lol

My surgeon recommended 325 mg as long as my stomach tolerates it. I don't have bleeding issues, but I'm not an any other anti-coag meds.

I was on 325 mg before AVR last year. After surgery when I was put on coumadin, he reduced me to the 81 mg.

 

[karla]

81 mg for me

 

[drivetopless]

325mg + lower dose coumadin (INR target is 2.0) for me.

For about two years was had been taking 81mg daily.
But after seeing a new neurologist today, I'm no longer taking it.

Post op took Coumadin and 81 mg aspirin daily for a year or so, also had small bleeds from bug bites.
Stopped the Aspirin, remained on coumadin and all is good.

0 + 0 = 0mg

Four or five years after my surgery, about 1971, I was transferred to a new city and my doc there, added one adult asparin to my Coumadine dose. Two years later, I was transferred back to Lousville and my docs immediately took me off the asparin and I have always been advised to never take asparin. Since many new patients are now put on an asparin dose, I assume my valve design is the reason my docs tell me to stay away from asparin.

I was on 81mg but surgeon told me to increase to 325mg for a full year...I think at that point they might suggest reducing to 81mg...we'll see.

 

[OldManEmu]

100mg low dose aspirin daily since surgery in 2004. Only stopped it for 4 days before my second surgery, then restarted.
I haven't noticed any extra bleeding or bruising since I started taking it.
