Aspirin Aspirin has proved effective to treat inflammation (发炎), fight fever and relieve pain, used under a doctor’s care. It can also help save your life when taken as told by a doctor during a suspected heart attack. Heart Attack Aspirin can reduce the risk of death if it is taken as soon as a heart attack is suspected. Doctors say that as little as one-half of a regular-strength aspirin tablet reduces the risk of death by up to 23 percent when a heart attack is suspected and continued for 30 days from that time on. Aspirin can lessen (减轻) the damaging effects of the heart attack. Another use of aspirin is for the prevention of heart attacks in people who have suffered a previous heart attack. Aspirin can reduce the risk of a second heart attack by about one-third. Stroke (中风) Prevention Regular aspirin use under a doctor’s care can prevent a stroke in people. As with heart attacks, it lessens the damaging effects of a stroke that does occur. Lower Dosage Aspirin Use Research suggests that the use of aspirin in lower dosages under a doctor’s care can reduce potential side effects but still maintain effectiveness. Aspirin is not appropriate for everyone, so be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin a fixed plan to take the aspirin in-order to improve your health.
