We have a local stroke protocole in Wales. We give Aspirin of 300mg od for two weeks for the pateints with an ischaemic stroke. Then we switch the patient to Clopidogrel of 75mg OD. Recently I came across a report of 85 years old woman who presented with cerebral small vessel disease and after a week of being on 300mg Aspirin she developed a bilateral brain haemorrhage. This haemorraghic transformation is more expected in Elderly patients. I think we might need to revisit the protocole and start presribing the 75mg dose of Aspirin rather than the 300mg. What do you think?

There aedifferent protocols for treatment following ischaemic stroke. The 75mg aspirin makes more sense in elderly especially if they have also diabetes.
I have seen hospitals that give aspirin 75 mg+s.c. clexane 40-60 mg once a day.
Others favor clopidogrel 75 mg, which is quite well tolerated by the elderly.
High doses of aspirin in the elderly might be risky. I also don't think higher doses have proven more beneficial in stroke prevention, while the side effects of cerebrel haemorrhage and GI haemorrrhage are real risks.

It is logical to give a smaller dose aspirin in elderly patients, taking into consideration their reduced primarily basal metabolism. Simply, it requires the biology of life.

What constitutes an elderly person? Most strokes are already in the elderly, so what age should we reconsider the full dose? Should this be age related or comorbidity related?

I was taught that 300mg. Aspirin daily is the dose to be used following ischimic stoke and 75-150mg. Following CHD. I am following this dose.
