11:12am UK, Tuesday January 27, 2009

The benefits of a daily dose of aspirin have long been discussed by medical professionals - but now it seems it might even prevent liver damage.

American scientists back common painkiller to help livers

Millions of people suffering alcohol abuse and obesity could reduce their chances of harming the body's biggest internal organ with the common painkiller, according to researchers in the US.

Scientists from the Journal of Clinical Investigation said tests on mice showed aspirin reduced death caused by an overdose of acetaminophen, best known as paracetamol.

Aspirin may help prevent and treat liver damage from a host of non-infectious causes, said Wajahat Mehal from Yale School of Medicine.

He added: "Many agents such as drugs and alcohol cause liver damage, and we have found two ways to block a central pathway responsible for such liver injury.

Aspirin may help with heart attacks

"Our strategy is to use aspirin on a daily basis to prevent liver injury."

Promising drugs that have failed clinical trials because of liver toxicity might be resurrected if combined with aspirin, Mr Mehal added.

He said: "This offers the exciting possibility of reducing a lot of pain and suffering in patients with liver diseases, using a new and very practical approach."

Aspirin counteracts new mechanisms of acetaminophen or paracetamol-induced liver damage.

Overdoses of acetaminophen account for the most drug overdoses in the majority of Western countries.

Professors have already suggested women who take aspirin once a day may slightly reduce their risk of the most common type of breast cancer.

A daily aspirin is also recommended to prevent heart attacks in people at high risk of having one.

Nine recent studies have shown how aspirin can help treat heart attacks.

Doses between 75 milligrams and 325 milligrams help thin the blood, scientists have found.
