Nope. Just a US thing.
As you can see on the NHS (UK National Health Service) website[1]:
The usual dose to prevent a heart attack or stroke is 75mg once a day (a regular strength tablet for pain relief is 300mg).
The usual dose for pregnant women is either 75mg or 150mg, taken once a day.
The daily dose may be higher, up to 300mg once a day, especially if you have just had a stroke, heart attack or heart bypass surgery.
Also says similar in the BNF (British National Formulary)[2]
