what organ does aspirin affect
If you take aspirin is it bad for your liver. I want to start taking some everyday for my heart to make sure it stays healthy and I don't get a heart attack but I don't want to damage my other organs. Aspirin is a medication that has been shown to be cardioprotective and decreases the incidence of MI (or heart attack). In most cases, taking just a baby aspirin (81 mg dose) daily is sufficient to exert its cardioprotective effects. Aspirin at such a low dose is unlikely to damage any of your other organs. With respect to your liver, Aspirin does not generally have negative effects on the liver. There are other medications, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) which can cause damage to your liver if you take more than the recommended amount. Taking 3000mg or more of Tylenol (acetaminophen) can cause liver damage.
