Do you give aspirin or nitroglycerin first?

Aspirin thins the blood (that’s how it prevents blood clots), so it’s no surprise that taking a daily aspirin increases the risk of internal bleeding.

Is aspirin hard on kidneys?

When taken as directed, regular use of aspirin does not seem to increase the risk of kidney disease in people who have normal kidney function. However, taking doses that are too large (usually more than six or eight tablets a day) may temporarily- and possibly permanently- reduce kidney function.
