How do I know what dose is right for me?
Determining what dose is right for you is a decision you should discuss with your doctor. Depending on your health risks, your doctor may recommend anywhere from a baby aspirin strength (81mg) to regular strength aspirin (325mg or more). However, at least one major medical review of research involving the benefits and risks of low dose aspirin indicates that the most appropriate dose for prevention of heart attack and stroke may be 160mg of aspirin. In addition, Halfprin 162 mg is the only low dose aspirin with 162mg aspirin, which is the dosage the FDA recommends for use during a suspected heart attack. And, taking a 162mg aspirin during a suspected heart attack can increase survival rate by 23%.
