“Aspirin in children?”
I have a 13 year old son who has recently undergone a stenting procedure in the aorta. Aspirin was given to him for 10 months, 100mg every day. Is this safe for him?

Hi,
Yes, it’s quite common for cardiology to prescribe aspirin to children with heart condition as a blood thinner. Benefits in this case outweigh the risks. Many younger children end up on aspirin as a prevention of clots, especially before procedure.

All drugs have risk and benefits. This is what he would need to get get blood clots.
Yes, it is safe.

Probably safe. The usual dose is 81 mg, but not sure what procedure he had done in the aorta?
