I'm...I'm confused here. How can they claim this? Isn't children's Aspirin a thing? I know it's a thing cause I've got in my medicine cabinet right now.
Technically, a “blood thinner” and an antiplatelet are two different things. Aspirin is specifically an antiplatelet. Commonly, people just say “blood thinners”, but there are many ways a medication can effect the clotting of someone’s blood. For the issues that FDA article is describing, aspirin wouldn’t be strong enough.
