If someone is taking 81 or 162 mg of daily preventative ASA, is that considered low dose? Or if they were just told by dispatch to take 2 ASA - and do not usually take it, is that considered low dose?
what would be considered low dose in order for us to give the full medication dose of analgesics if it is needed.

Thank you for the question. Concurrent use of ASA would not be a contraindication to analgesia. NSAIDS would be contraindicated if the patient had an ASA allergy (which is unlikely if they are using ASA). Therefore, if a patient is using ASA at any dose, the analgesia medical directive can be used in it’s entirety.
