Aspirin; Some important facts:
This is probably one of the most widely used drug and one that patients in most of countries purchase without doctor’s prescription. It is used to relieve pain such as headache, to reduce inflammatory conditions and bring down the temperature in cases of fever.
The drug should not be used for children unless absolutely necessary and only under close supervision of your doctor since it is possible that in some children aspirin may induce a serious side effect known as “Reye’s syndrome”( an extremely serious acute condition that may attack all major organs of the body, but particularly the brain and liver).
Aspirin should also not be taken by patients who are suffering from stomach ulcer, acidity or dyspepsia as these may be aggravated by aspirin.
Aspirin should not be taken empty stomach, as the gastric side-effects, particularly heart burn, appear more in cases in empty stomach. It can be taken with water but it is preferable to take it with milk.
The dose used for headache is such that side effects are not normally seen but if the correct dose is used for inflammatory conditions such as back pain or inflammatory joints then the likelihood of side-effects appearing is increased.
Aspirin in low doses is prescribed for long term treatment for prevention of coronary thrombosis, commonly known as heart attack. This is because at low dose aspirin has blood thinning effect and prevent the formation of blood clots (thrombus) in body. This treatment is effective for those patients who have a history of heart attack.
If aspirin is taken at the same tome as anti diabetics or anticoagulant drugs used for the treatment of coronary disease. Aspirin increases the activity of these two drugs, so please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking it without prescription.
