Aspirin to prevent pre-eclampsia

Hi MTBs/Mummies Gynae prescribed 150mg of aspirin, was told to take 1.5 pill and discard the 0.5 pill. I’m confused on why is there a need to throw the half pill away as it’s wasted. Also, why am I prescribed 150mg instead of 100mg? I’m worried about the dosage not being right if I cut the pill, as there is no line indication on where to cut. Anyone had similar experience?

I was prescribed the same too, but doc just said to keep the half for the next day. anyway, long story short, 150mg was too much for me, I was breathless, dizzy, and my BP dropped quite a bit (I already have low BP). So we sought for a 2nd opinion, doc sent me for a few tests and reduced the dosage to 100mg. I feel totally fine now, and switched gynae permanently. I think it really depends if you've noticed any changes after taking the asprin, if you think something doesn't feel right, look for someone else for a 2nd opinion.
