Episode notes
Daily Baby Aspirin Is Questionable
- Primary care often suggests 81–100 mg aspirin daily to protect the heart.
- Dr. Stephen Cabral argues evidence doesn't support that routine daily recommendation.

- Multiple reviews found alternate‑day aspirin gives similar cardiovascular effects as daily dosing.
- Alternate‑day dosing consistently showed lower gastrointestinal bleeding risk.

- Platelet inhibition saturates around 75–100 mg daily, so increasing dose doesn't boost antiplatelet effect.
- Higher daily exposure mainly increases bleeding risk without extra platelet benefit.
