Use aspirin safely.
If you and your doctor decide that aspirin is right for you, follow these safety tips:
- Make sure you understand how much aspirin to take and how often to take it.
- Don’t stop taking aspirin without checking with your doctor.
- Check with your doctor before you start taking a new medicine or vitamin. Ask if it will be safe with aspirin.
- If you drink, drink alcohol only in moderation. This means no more than 1 drink a day for women and 2 drinks a day for men. Alcohol can increase some risks of taking daily aspirin.
