How Safe Is Taking Aspirin For De-calcifying The Arteries?
Hi, my mother who is 89yrs old is taking the following medication: lisinopril 5mg., lasix 20mg., norvasc 5mg., pantoloc 40mg., lanitop 0,1 mg., and spiriono 25 mg. daily. My question is if pure aspirin small doses for occasional headaches would counteract the medication or would it help to possibly decalcify her her arteries a little. Thank-you for your time.
