The Short Answer: Don't Overdo It. Taking the manufacturer's recommended dosage of aspirin and acetaminophen together for a short time has not be shown to cause organ damage. Aspirin and acetaminophen can be taken alone at higher doses without causing damage.
What Is a Port-a-Cath? A port-a-cath is an IV (intravenous) catheter that is placed under the skin in a patient who requires frequent administration of chemotherapy, blood transfusions, antibiotics, intravenous feeding, or blood draws.
Your doctor will let you know if you have one of these ports. They are called âpower-injectableâ ports. An implanted port is made up of two parts: the port and a catheter (Figure 1). The port is a container for fluids that will flow through the catheter.
