I remember an old interview with Milton Friedman where he stated using aspirin every other day to reduce the dangers of heart attacks. My grandfather did the same. So I guess this wasn’t such a good idea after all?
- robbiep 4y agono it is still a mainstay of treatment for those at high risk
- znpy 4y agomy father in law (76 years old) does the same, but it's not the same kind of aspirin i'd take. Iirc there's a special version for that use. I think it's called cardio-aspirin or something? The downside is that it's an anti-coagulant, so if you bleed for any reason it will not stop bleeding as easily as without the cardio-aspirin.
