Hi,
Present recommendation is:
1. Continue Aspirin 75 mg indefinitely in all scented patients
2. Aspirin low dose like 75 mg causes Utica cid rise
3. You need not stop Aspirin for that
4. Benefit more than risk
Monitoring recommended at least once in a month. If you are getting gouty attacks, treatment is warranted.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
