Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent, but only in action it reduces the activity of platelet sit will not reduce the actual number of platelets of course few cases are known where even the platelet count is reduced but such cases cannot be predicted if you are on regular aspirin watch for risk of gastritis and gastric ulcers best of luck
