What is the cardioprotective dosing range for Aspirin?

  1. 30-60 mg once daily

  2. 81-162 mg once daily

  3. 200-400 mg once daily

  4. 325-650 mg twice daily

The correct answer is: 81-162 mg once daily

Aspirin is a commonly used medication that is known for its cardioprotective effects. This means that it helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes by thinning the blood and reducing the risk of blood clots. The recommended dosing range for aspirin when used for cardioprotection is between 81-162 mg per day. Option A is too low and may not provide enough protection, while options C and D are higher doses and may increase the risk of side effects without providing additional benefits. It is important to always follow the recommended dosing range provided by your healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
