Dear Shiv Shankar Low-dose aspirin therapy is sometimes prescribed during pregnancy to help treat medical conditions. If you need to take aspirin during your third trimester of pregnancy, your gynaecologists will likely closely monitor your wife and your baby. Why she has prescribed is and for which disease this question you should better ask your doctor who has prescribed it. With regard |
