I take 10mg Disprin in water once a day to thin my blood and help protect me from possible Heart & Stroke problems which I ve encounted (TIA s in 1990 & 2000+ a heart murmer diagnosed 10 years ago which has remained unchanged since then) in the past & for which I continue to take a low level of drugs. My wife takes a similar amount of Disprin in the hope she is better protected against possible Heart & Stroke problems. Can you please advise us?
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. In your case it is advisable to take aspirin to prevent stroke and other cardiovascular event. But you didn't mentioned why your wife is taking these? Is she also a cardiac patient or have stroke or any other thing for which it can be indicated? If she is having good health and no problem in her heart, then she shouldn't take this. It is not advisable for her. She should stop taking it as it has got side effects as wells. Hope I answered your question.  Feel free to ask more if you need further assistance.  Thanks.
