aspirin is an antiplatelet agent,
but only in action
it reduces the activity of platelets
it will not reduce the actual number of platelets
of course few cases are known where even the
platelet count is reduced
but such cases cannot be predicted
if u r on regular aspirin
watch for risk of gastritis and gastric ulcers
best of luck
