So, what is the truth? I have no digestive problems after 3 to 4 months, and whilst bleeding is slightly slower to clot, is not a problem at all.
Precisely, if you're taking a medicine to prevent the onset of problems you won't notice any change. Stop using and you may or may not have problems.
My AME doctor recommended 75mg aspirin daily about 15 years ago ( I have a family history of thrombosis/strokes). I take one with water after first meal of the day and so far no problems.
