ASA is known to decrease the frequency of MI. However it is associated with an Increase in the risk of significant bleeding. Is this also true with the low dose i.e. 81 mg dosage?
Current meta analyses indicate that ASA does prevent MI. However, the risk of an adverse outcome is greater than the decrease in risk of an MI. The dosage of the ASA in the studies reviewed is not usually mentioned. Does low dose or alternate day ASA therapy have the same frequency of adverse events? Is the risk:benefit ratio significantly altered to recommend low dose ASA be used as a primary prevention measure?
Thank you.
