Is aspirin, the well-known drug, really as miraculous as it is rumored? It can cure diseases, fight cancer, and even strengthen the body? However, as the saying goes, "a drug is always poisonous", and each drug has its therapeutic effects and potential side effects. No, not long ago, there was a man in his 70s who suffered a life-threatening situation due to over-reliance on aspirin.
Let's dive into aspirin. As a common drug, aspirin has pharmacological effects such as detoxification and heat clearance, analgesia and anti-inflammatory, and treatment of rheumatism, and is widely used in colds and fevers, headaches, acute inflammation and other symptoms, especially in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Because of this, aspirin has earned the reputation of "miracle cure".
However, like many medications, aspirin is not something that can be taken casually. It should only be considered when it is truly needed, such as if you have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and do not have an allergic reaction. For those people at high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as patients with long-term hypertension and diabetes, people with family history, long-term smokers and drinkers, etc., it is also recommended to use it appropriately under the guidance of a doctor.
However, it is important to note that aspirin should be used with extreme caution in the following situations:
People with a history of drug allergies;
Patients with wheezing;
The digestive system is weak, which can easily lead to gastric bleeding;
People who have just undergone surgery;
Patients with severe kidney, liver, and lung failure;
Pregnant women, which may affect fetal development.
All in all, aspirin is not a panacea. Only when used rationally can its efficacy and safety be ensured. Always consult your doctor before taking it to make sure your health is appropriate for your medication use.
