But in recent years, it has also gained a reputation as a drug that can lower the risk of heart attack and clot-related stroke. As a result, millions of people around the world (50 million in the United States alone!) now take a daily dose of aspirin. So, if you’ve had heart problems or doctors have found evidence of atherosclerosis in your arteries, the advice today about aspirin is clear and gender neutral: A daily dose will reduce your chances of dying of heart attack or stroke. Although there are still some doubts about the optimal dose, most studies show that small doses are just as effective — and maybe even more so — than large doses, so the standard advice is to take 75 to 162mg daily. In the United States and the Philippines, low-dose aspirin comes in 81-mg pills, which is basically the amount found in a “baby aspirin” tablet. In Europe, a 75-mg pill is available. [...] [...] Aspirin has long been known to relieve fevers, aches, and pains.
