Page:  1  2 

Take Action!

Your doctor can help you decide if aspirin is the right choice for you. Talk to your doctor about:
  • Your risk of heart attack
  • What kind of aspirin to take
  • How much to take
  • How often to take it

Be sure to tell your doctor about all the other medicines that you take, including vitamins. Aspirin can cause serious side effects and mix dangerously with other medicines.
