Why is there such a thing as baby aspirin when babies cannot take it due to the risk of Reye's syndrome?
I have not seen baby aspirin marketed for years. Baby aspirin was available before the association with Reye's syndrome was established, but since then has apparently been removed from the market. There is still a chewable 81mg aspirin available, probably for low dose heart attack prevention. Furthermore, aspirin may still be necessary for treating some childhood illnesses, but under a doctor's order.
