    Dr. Michael Roizen answered:
    Make sure you drink enough water when you take aspirin or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), particularly before exercise. These drugs can cause kidney problems if you get dehydrated. That's especially true if you take an anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen before you exercise: Make sure you continually hydrate when exercising.
