An Underappreciated Risk of an Aspirin a Day. By Neena Abraham, M.D. If your physician has suggested you take aspirin to reduce your risk of heart disease, it is important to remember that even small doses of daily aspirin â including âbaby aspirin,â at a dose of 81 milligrams daily â can increase your risk of ulcers and bleeding.
Your doctor will discuss what dose is right for you. Very low doses of aspirin â75 milligrams (mg), which is less than a standard baby aspirin â can be effective. Your doctor will usually prescribe a daily dose anywhere from 81 mg â the amount in a baby aspirin â to 325 mg (a regular strength tablet). If you have had a heart attack or have had a heart stent placed, it's very important to take aspirin and any other blood-thinning medications exactly as recommended.
