Aspirin is one of the most commonly used drugs in treating pain, fever and inflammation. Experts recommend aspirin administration under strict supervision for cardiovascular cases.
Aspirin is not recommended in people with bleeding disorders and those who are intolerant allergic to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a common drug that is used to treat mild to moderate pain and reduce fever or inflammation.
Many health guidelines suggest that aspirin can help cardiovascular patients and help prevent a heart attack or stroke. However, a new study warns that regular consumption of aspirin may put you at the risk of major gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in the case of older stroke patients. As reported in the medical journal The Lancet, long-term and daily use of aspirin can increase the risk of internal bleeding even among people with no history of heart problems or stroke.
