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.
Some were taking a regular low dose of aspirin â in the range of 75 to 160 milligrams â and others were not. A typical baby aspirin sold at pharmacies in the United States contains 80 milligrams of the drug, compared to 325 milligrams for a regular aspirin. After five years, women who had been taking a daily low-dose of aspirin scored higher on cognitive tests then their peers who werenât taking aspirin.
