It is good to taper the dose slowly giving yourself 3 days and slowly tapering the dose and stopping as you had regular aspirin you are likely to develop a rebound phenomenon. So speak with your treating doctor who will give a schedule on how to taper the drug and then completely stop it. Kindly be careful not to have cuts or injuries during this point of time.
