Hi Sue,
I agree with Haralee's advice. It is important to talk to your doctor and see if taking a low dose aspirin every day is right for you. Aspirin can delay clotting time, can interact with other medications and can have gastrointestinal side effects.

Sue, you need to discuss with your doctor if this is a good addition for you. A baby aspirin may not sseem like a big deal but all drugs and supplements can have side effects!
