Baby Asprin: One Chewable 81 mg.
tablet per day
(Note: Stop taking if you get preggo, or ask your Dr. if you want to continue!!)
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is a clinical sequence of events that affects clotting and may cause recurrent
pregnancy loss and low platelets. Two autoantibodies are involved in this condition: the lupus anticoagulant (LAC) and anticardiolipin
antibody (ACA).
Some clinicians are convinced that antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with infertility as well
and in some cases women are treated with heparin to improve the rate of pregnancy. In treatment of recurrent pregnancy loss,
where ACA and or LAC is suspected, it has been found that heparin plus low dose aspirin (80 to 100 mg. per day) is beneficial.
Moderate severity of disease is more responsive to aspirin therapy than are the more severe cases.
A baby aspirin is used
because of it's smaller dosage. A typical adult aspirin contains 325 mg. You should seek the advice of your own care provider
to see if ACA or LAC is a possibility and to see if small dose aspirin therapy would be recommended.
