Aspirin reduces the stickiness of platelets. This helps to prevent a thrombus from forming and reduces the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. When aspirin is used in this way, it is often referred to as 'low-dose' aspirin. Low-dose aspirin is particularly useful for people with heart or blood vessel disease.
