My husband and I are taking 81mg aspirin each night. We are 64 and 65 years old. Question: I have read to keep aspirin at bedside and in the car - to take in case of chest pain. What dose (regular or baby) ? How many? Chew, dissolve or swallow? Is it safe to take more if you are already taking on a regular basis? We take it in the evening or at bedtime.
Hello, Baby Aspirin (81 mg) is regular maintenance dose and higher amounts like 150 or 300 mg is given at times of heart attack. Recommended for your husband to continue with baby aspirin. Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
