Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Substandard fetal growth is termed as IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction ).
Loprin is 75 mg. aspirin.
It is postulated to increase blood flow to the baby by thinning the blood.
It is safe to take it as suggested.
You can continue to take it till 36 weeks, or as long as your doctor suggests.
Do not worry.
Have regular ultrasound scans to monitor fetal growth.
Take care.
