All, What is the TYP consensus regarding Aspirin? I was taking an enteric coated aspirin for a couple of years and stopped as I thought it was bothering my stomach. I recently started taking a enteric coated 81mg aspirin a couple times a week, which really bothers my stomach Isn't the fish oil doing the same thing as an aspirin? Peace Joe E O Posted: 8/19/2008 6:53:49 PM Hi, Joe-- I suspect that fish oil does largely replace the benefits of aspirin, but there are virtually no data I'm aware of examining long-term whether cardiovascular events rates are adequate controlled with just fish oil without aspirin. The higher the fish oil dose, my gut sense is that there are diminishing benefits of aspirin. I think your solution is the best: use as little aspirin as possible. I also advise my patients to take periodic breaks, e.g., one week off every 3 months or so, to allow any gastritis to heal. Dr. Davis
