Suggest Ideal Dosage Of Aspirin For Arthritis
Have severe arthritis (most of my joints have been replaced). I ve been taking naproxen for 27 years, but am worried about a heart attack or stroke. How many aspirin would I have to take to get the same amount of relief I get from 900 mg of naproxen?

Hi thanks for asking question.
Aspirin available in dose from 25 mg to 5000 mg.
It is over the counter analgesic drug.
Usually 325 mg tablet will be effective for you in relieving pain.
It can lead to certain side effect like vomiting, gastritis, bleeding ,drowsiness,tinnitus etc.
Before starting aspirin rule out the following condition.
-Asthma, peptic ulcer,gout , hemophilia , liver disease , kidney disease etc.
If above condition present then aspirin should not be taken.
I hope you understand my concern.
Wish you good health.
