High-dose aspirin to prevent pre-eclampsia carries no excess bleeding risk: study
GP Dr Ka-Kiu Cheung says it’s ‘optimal’ for clinical practice and cheaper for women to use.
Low-dose and high-dose aspirin are equally effective for preventing pre-eclampsia and carry a similar risk of bleeding, an international team of doctors has reported.
The Swedish nationwide cohort study found no significant difference in postpartum haemorrhage risk among nearly 14,000 women (mean age 33) prescribed high- or low-dose aspirin during pregnancy.
