Routine Aspirin Benefits Questioned

Advice about aspirin use has been conflicting.

Low-dose aspirin should not routinely be used to prevent heart attacks and strokes, contrary to official guidance, say UK researchers. Analysis of data from over 100,000 clinical trial participants found the risk of harm largely canceled out the benefits of taking the drug.

Only those who have already had a heart attack or stroke should be advised to take a daily aspirin, researchers said.
