Stocking up on Meds

[Mortblanc]

After my heart attack I was placed on thinners for two years.

After that time they put me on a dosage of one aspirin daily. At 5 years they put me on 1/2 aspirin daily.

Warfarin is given to not only prevent clots, but to dissolve any that are present.

After about a year that use is ineffective because the clots are already gone.

The statistics show a 10% recurrence during the first two years when using Warfarin, dropping to 5% after that.

After those first two years aspirin was just as effective at the prevention roles as Warfarin .

Get he past the one year mark and aspirin should be sufficient if there have been no further incidents. After two years she will be much better off.

And be aware that aspirin has a shelf life.

I am not a doctor so do not take my word for this as medical advice.
