"The daily use of low dose aspirin has been a mainstay of preventing strokes
for decades. While there has always been a risk of bleeding associated with
aspirin use, the benefits were thought to outweigh the risk.
Now new research led by Monash University has shown daily, low-dose aspirin
doesn’t prevent strokes in relatively healthy people aged over 70. And it
increases their risk of bleeding on the brain after falls or other injuries.
But if you’re taking aspirin, it doesn’t mean you should abruptly stop. It may
still have a role to play in treating people at high risk of stroke. Or, after
talking to your doctor, there might be better options available."
