A member asked:
Are the health benefits of aspirin the same as other pain killers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Aspirin has been shown to be effective for certain cardiovascular diseases. However, other pain relievers including nsaids do not have the same benefit. To the contrary, all nsaids elevate your risk of an acute cardiovascular event such as a heart attack.
