Q: Why 162 mg of aspirin and not 81 mg of aspirin per day?
A: Like they say in Vegas, it's all about the odds. When you take 162.5 mg or greater of aspirin, you reduce your arterial aging by 36 percent. With 82 mg, the reduction is 13 percent. Since the side effects are just a little greater with 162.5 mg, the risk benefit is much better with 162.5 mg. We'll take those odds every time.
