Do you take aspirin before a long flight (greater than 6 hours)?
This is a survey of people who take long flights regularly. I want to know what percent of people seek to prevent thrombus formation on a long flight by taking an aspirin.

DVT is no more likely on an airplane than in any other situation where you are relatively motionless for a long time (such as sitting in front of a computer at home, or even just sleeping). If you are in good health, DVT is not a significant issue. If you are not in good health and predisposed to DVT, you should follow your doctor's instructions, which may or may not include a recommendation for taking aspirin.

I don't, be it short or long-haul flights. I don't take any meds at all.
