Antiplatelet Drugs ( aspirin )



Aspirin <100mg no need to stop
Avoid prescribing medication that enhances bleeding - Nsaids, corticosteroids

Pts with Drug Eluting Stents are usually prescribed with 2 antiplatelet drugs, never STOP medication within 3 months of stent placement, high chance of thrombosis
