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?

hello, im taking aspirin as well. 1.5 pill. dont throw away the other 0.5 pill. eat for following day. 1.5 is considered low dosage i think. i taking it coz i had stillbirth previously, not for pre-eclampsia. nonetheless, dont worry about the dosage, i have been taking since week 12 and my baby is doing well now! believe in ur gynae.
