We hope that taking medicine can bring us curative effects, but we also hope that safe medication can ensure the safety of life. As an "old friend" of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular world, aspirin must be very familiar to everyone, and some people still call it a "life-saving drug", but do you really understand its taking matters? If you don't know much, you may wish to read this article, and it is not too late to eat after reading it.
(1) Has been diagnosed
(2) There is no diagnosis, but there are factors such as long smoking age, excessive obesity, family history, and "three highs"
These two types of people can take aspirin for a long time after consulting a doctor to prevent myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
Eat on time
It is recommended that patients set a time for themselves to take medicine, eat it when they arrive, and do not think about it before eating. Because as the drug component is metabolized, the effectiveness of the drug is also reduced, so it should be replenished before it completely fails. It is better to eat before 7 o'clock in the morning and help reduce the discomfort that occurs after waking up in the morning. If you are used to eating at night, you can also act on the small peak of blood pressure rise at night to prevent blood pressure fluctuations.
Hide from the light
Aspirin will bring drug photosensitivity, pay attention to sun protection, do not go out for a walk immediately after taking the medicine, may sunburn the skin and appear erythema. When patients go out, try to play umbrellas, wear long-sleeved pants, especially the neck, the back of the hands, and the calves, which are easy to be ignored, and should be done to avoid light. From this point of view, people who take medicine at night do not have to worry about this problem.
To be typed
There are three kinds of aspirin tablets, aspirin enteric-coated tablets, and aspirin enteric-coated extended-release tablets.
The first kind of eating after meals is better, the impact on the stomach and intestines is small, the second and third kinds are suitable for fasting, generally eat once a day, the dose specifically see the instructions, do not eat more, do not chew. In comparison, the third stimulus is a little smaller, and it can be chosen if the stomach is not very good, or if it is more sensitive to the drug.
Studies have found that aspirin can reduce the risk of cancer death
Ecology published a study in which an analysis of 250,000 reports from 118 studies found that the risk of death from aspirin use was reduced by 20%.
If it can be used rationally for cancer treatment, it may reduce the number of deaths. However, this view lacks experimental support, and whether it is really effective is still inconclusive, and we look forward to the next research.
The good news is that a study in Gut reported that aspirin does play a role in the prevention and treatment of bowel cancer, with people who have been taking it for 5 years have a 43% lower risk of bowel cancer.
However, people can not take medicine as the only means of preventing bowel cancer, or pay attention to a reasonable combination of diet.
Seeing this, some people may be more excited, does this mean that you can take aspirin every day to prevent cancer? Of course, this is not the meaning, if your situation is not serious, or did not meet the standard of medication, but insist on taking medicine every day, may bring bad consequences to the body, should be timely understanding.
Some patients experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms
As we said above, enteric-coated tablets are very mild for the stomach and intestines, and if you eat the first one, a relatively large gastrointestinal reaction may occur. But you can't change the order of its medicine because of this, or depends on which kind of medicine you are eating, if you really can't adapt to the tablets, you should change to enteric-coated tablets, so as to ensure that the drug effect is exerted, and at the same time, it will not make the stomach uncomfortable.
Bleeding and low platelets may occur
People who take medicine for a long time should regularly check their blood to see if the platelets have decreased, and also pay attention to observation whether there is abnormal bleeding on the body. However, everyone can rest assured that there is generally no serious bleeding phenomenon, if you find that hemoptysis and blood in the stool are more serious, you must stop the drug for treatment.
Allergies to drugs, itchy skin, edema, asthma
There are fewer people who are allergic to drugs, but there will also be, and if there has been an adverse reaction to the relevant drug ingredients, it is necessary to adjust in time and take other drugs instead.
Some patients are worried that taking medicine every day will not be addictive? Can I change it to eat once every two days?
This problem does not have to worry, because it has no addictive component, it is just a drug that inhibits platelet aggregation and keeps blood vessels open, without psychological burden. The best situation is to eat on time every day, so as to ensure that there are medicinal ingredients in the body, but occasionally forget to eat do not panic, the next day normal eat a few, theoretically can not exceed 3 days do not eat.
Finally, patients are reminded that if they are pregnant, have a fever, have a serious stomach ulcer, and lack vitamin K, these conditions cannot be eaten, and they should be remembered.
In short, no matter how magical the drug is, how powerful the effect is, don't forget its essence, it is a medicine, since it is a medicine, there are contraindications, safe medication is the premise, so as to bring efficacy to the human body.
