Dr. Jennifer Curtin, RTHM Co-Founder and CMO, and Dr. Stuart Malcolm, RTHM Medical Director, sit down and discuss what they would do if they tested positive for COVID-19. In this discussion, the RTHM physicians share why they recommend using aspirin or baby aspirin in the prevention of microclots in patients infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus.

Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, is a medication used to treat pain, fever, or inflammation. It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.
