Aspirin is used in addition to its effects on pain, fever, and inflammation, aspirin also has an important inhibitory effect on platelets in the blood. This antiplatelet effect is used to prevent blood clot formation inside arteries, particularly in individuals who have atherosclerosis (narrowing of the blood vessels) of their arteries, or are otherwise prone to develop blood clots in their arteries.
You should always consult your physician prior to using any medications for any period of time. Have you sought a physicians opinion about your blood clots and/or treatments? Since there are several drug interactions associated with all medications, seeking a physicians opinion is necessary.
