Question to GP Maarten: Can aspirin cause blood clots?
About 3 weeks I took 75 mg aspirin with breakfast (so that was already November) and then I forgot to take it for 2 or 3 days. Then I started again with 75 mg of aspirin but after the second day I noticed in the afternoon that my urine had a “coca cola” color. I naturally suspected a bleeding and immediately drank very light green tea non-stop.
I live in Pattaya and can buy my medicines at most pharmacies. Don't need a prescription for that. However, what they can't help me with is CarbasalateCalcium Cardio 100 mg, they don't know that.
Question to GP Maarten: Is aspirin still available in Pattaya
To my surprise, I was unable to obtain aspirin (Bayer) from a pharmacist in Pattaya. He claimed that aspirin has been dispensed in Thailand for 2 years. Now aspirin has always been a good analgesic and antipyretic for me. Concrete: is this true?
My cardiologist said “you should take aspirin 81mg 2 tablets every day” which I did until last year. I stopped because I assumed jogging 7,5 km every day is enough to get my blood flowing quickly
Ask doctor Maarten about the daily intake of aspirin for CVA prevention. I have been taking aspirin daily for stroke prevention for several years. A few years ago, my doctor in Thailand pointed out to me that I should switch to a lower dose, namely 81 mg.
