Aspirin inhibits platelete aggregation and thus does assuredly inhibit clotting, as some/many of us know!

Yet, how effective it is prophyllactically with dvt- I just can't say for sure!

While the downside here seems minimal, my advice is to follow your doctors advice!

One reason why I do not is the tendency to consume alcohol while aloft! I'm trying to take care of my liver!
