I took 100 milligrams a day for prophylactic purposes for about 5 years. It caused severe gastritis, to the extent that I had to go to hospital last year. Since having to discontinue taking it for a medical procedure, I discovered that my stomach is much better and have never taken a single pill since.

Thanks for the link. Nice quote: "In fact, if you believe what you read in the scientific literature, you shouldn’t believe what you read in the scientific literature."

It can cause bleeding.

A low dosage of 75 milligrams is still a problem?

It's actually the dose used in cardiovascular prophylaxis to prevent clotting...

You need a much higher dose to get an NSAID effect.
