Pls advice how do we go about
Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given and understand your concern. However, low dose aspirin (75 mg, 150 mg) which is given to prevent platelets adhesion, has no action on platelet counts. It does not reduce the counts or has any action on hemoglobin level. Hemoglobin level depends on supplementation of Iron, Folic Acid & B12. So shifting to aspirin will only help maintain proper blood flow. It has no adverse effect on any other aspect as mentioned by you. So do not worry and follow the doctor's advise. Thanks.
