Most on this site say that they are prescribed baby aspirin along with HU. I was diagnosed with ET, Jak2, in October of 2022. I was put on full dose (325mg) aspirin immediately and now also take 1000 mg daily HU to try to bring down my 700 platelets. I have been taking full dose aspirin for 6 months. Is this common? I'm concerned about aspirin complications.

I take a baby aspirin, but I have heard from others that they take one regular strength aspirin.

There are alternatives if you are worried about aspirin side effects. If it bothers your stomach, ask if you can lower the dose and take enteric-coated?
