Thank you for telling me aspirin may lead to Steven-Johnson syndrome. I have been reading up on that disorder.

Does the intake of diary milk reduces the risk of bleeding in stomach?

I really wonder if a regimen of low dose aspirin and fish oil would be as effective and safer than other conventional anti platelet therapies such as heparin, Coumadin, xarelto, Eliquis and all the others. I am not a medical professional, but I do think about these things after seeing/hearing other people’s experiences.
