I’m taking Brillanta, along with a baby aspirin and a statin drug after having a heart attack because of a 100% blockage. They put in a stent. It’s been over 2 yrs ago. I’ll say, I took baby aspirin daily for years. Never had a problem. I stopped about 4-5 yrs ago, because of stomach bleeding. I would sometimes take a few more for other pain also. Anyway, The blood thinner, brillanta works together with the aspirin. The statin helps keep platelets from sticking together along with lowering bad cholesterol. High blood pressure meds also. I should have been taking the statins years ago, and the BP was high for a while also. Both were red flags. Cholesterol and high BP. It all works together to cause a blockage. Heart attack could have been prevented, had I not postponed my check up. Thankfully my heart function returned to normal after 6 mos. No dead tissue. Best to catch a blockage before having a heart attack. My Father wasn’t so Lucky. The damage caused by his heart attacks caused heart failure. He passed at 58. I’m 56 now. Hard to believe.

My doctor said to stop the regular 81mg aspirin and take a chewable 81mg. The chewable doesn't lay in your stomach and cause bleeding.
