Following a foot fracture, I am wearing a walking boot for 6 weeks. The orthopedist advised me to take aspirin 3 days before my 6 hour flight to avoid phlebitis. I also have to massage my calves during the flight. I don't take any medication and I don't have any allergies. I don't know the dosage.

Hello Ma'am,
According to my research, the usual recommended dose in a situation like this is 81mg (Aspirin™ known as "baby") per dose (take 30 minutes before takeoff).
