Baby Aspirin May Be Best for Heart. May 8, 2007 -- Baby aspirin may be the best aspirin dose for heart health, according to a new research review. A single pill of baby aspirin contains 81 milligrams of aspirin. That's about a quarter of the 325-milligram dose in an adult aspirin pill. The new research review states that in the U.S., the most commonly prescribed aspirin dose for heart health is 81 milligrams per day. The review shows that aspirin doses greater than 81 milligrams per day haven't been proven better than baby aspirin for the heart and may increase the chances of stomach bleeding.
Depending on who you are, this is still good advice. But it could be very dangerous for others. For some people, itâs possible a daily aspirin can lead to internal bleeding and even enhance the health condition it seeks to silence. Take an Aspirin Every Day for these Benefits Hereâs what Iâm talking about: Recent advice from the United States Preventative Services Task Forceâan panel of nationally recognized experts in prevention and evidence-based medicineâsays that if youâre between 50 and 69 and are at a high risk for heart attack or stroke, you should take a low-dose (i.e., childrenâs) aspirin each day as a preventative measure.
