After nearly a hundred years of clinical application, it has been proved that it has a good effect on relieving mild and moderate pain such as toothache, headache, neuralgia, muscle soreness and dysmenorrhea. # Philharmonic Health Guide #
In recent years, it has been found that aspirin can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis, and it is clinically used to prevent postoperative thrombosis such as transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction and artificial heart valve.
Aspirin was listed in 1898, and it was found that it also has the effect of anti-platelet aggregation, which once again aroused great interest.
Aspirin and other salicylic acid derivatives are melt esterified with hydroxyl-containing polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose acetate to make them into macromolecules. The anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects of the obtained product are longer than those of free aspirin.
Maybe there are some patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems around you who need to take various drugs every day. The most common is aspirin, which is familiar to everyone. Many people say:
"Aspirin can't be eaten for a long time. Eating too much blood vessels will become brittle, which will easily lead to blood vessel rupture and bleeding. "
After hearing such rumors, many people began to hesitate, not knowing whether aspirin can be eaten. Some people even choose to stop eating because they are afraid of its side effects.
So, if you take aspirin for a long time, will it make blood vessels brittle?
1, cerebral hemorrhage
Related studies have found that the biggest side effect of taking aspirin for a long time is cerebral hemorrhage, and the incidence of bleeding problems is getting higher and higher with age.
This is because taking aspirin for a long time will stimulate the body and damage local blood vessels and blood circulation, and aspirin will affect the coagulation function of platelets in patients' blood to varying degrees, so it is easy to cause frequent cerebral hemorrhage.
2. Gastrointestinal reaction
Taking aspirin will directly stimulate the gastric mucosa and induce abdominal discomfort such as indigestion, nausea and vomiting.
Some people are likely to be constipated after taking aspirin, and taking aspirin in large doses may also lead to gastric ulcer, erosive gastritis, gastric bleeding and other problems.
3. Liver injury
Aspirin can inhibit platelet aggregation in blood, and if taken in large doses for a long time, it will inhibit the formation of prothrombin.
Chinese medicine believes that the liver stores blood, and the liver has the functions of storing blood, stopping bleeding and regulating blood volume, so one of the side effects of taking aspirin is that it is easy to damage the liver.
4. Blood system toxicity
Aspirin can affect the blood system to some extent, which mainly leads to some bleeding problems. In addition to the aforementioned problems such as cerebral hemorrhage, anemia and thrombocytopenia, it can also lead to nosebleeds, gingival bleeding and systemic purpura.
For patients with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction is prone to occur. Aspirin is an antiplatelet drug, which can reduce thrombosis and help prevent cerebral infarction.
Taking aspirin does not make blood vessels brittle. Blood vessels are brittle because of their own diseases.
The causes of cerebral hemorrhage are atherosclerosis and hypertension. Under the combined action of the two, the cerebral vessels will lose elasticity or form tiny aneurysms. When blood pressure fluctuates violently, it is easy to cause the problem of rupture and bleeding.
The purpose of taking aspirin is to prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, and aspirin directly acts on cyclooxygenase of platelets, reducing the production of thromboxane, inhibiting thromboxane and inducing platelet aggregation reaction, which will further reduce the production of thrombosis.
It can be seen that the site of aspirin action is flowing, and platelets are not the blood vessels themselves, so it will not make the blood vessel wall thin or brittle.
Atherosclerosis and hypertension will cause arterial aneurysm, which will lead to the gradual enlargement of blood vessels, the gradual thinning of blood vessel walls, and finally lead to the problem of blood vessel rupture.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular doctor: absolutely not!
At present, the medical technology in the world has made rapid progress and development, but many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases still have no radical cure, which has become a major medical problem and can only be treated stably through long-term medication.
Some patients gradually lose confidence in the long treatment process, lack the courage and perseverance to treat diseases, and usually do not take aspirin on time and in quantity.
It is said that taking aspirin for a long time will do harm to the body, so I adopted the method of "taking it and stopping", thinking that it can reduce the side effects of aspirin on the body, but I don't know that this practice is all wet.
Relevant research shows that short-term or long-term aspirin treatment for patients with ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and some high-risk groups has very clear benefits for the prognosis of stroke and vascular death of myocardial infarction.
If you take the method of "eating and stopping", it is easy to bring sustained and long-term stimulation to the blood vessel wall. At this time, it is more harmful to the body than taking aspirin on time. So I suggest you don't take medicine like this.
However, aspirin is by no means a magic medicine, it is just a commonly used medicine in clinic, and not everyone is suitable to take it. For example, the following five groups of people need to use aspirin with caution:
1. Allergic constitution: If it is allergic constitution, allergic reactions may occur after taking aspirin, including rash, angioneurotic edema, asthma and other allergic reactions.
2. Patients with digestive tract ulcer: If there are gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain and discomfort may occur after taking aspirin.
3. People with hepatic and renal insufficiency: The side effects of aspirin include hepatorenal toxicity, which needs to be decomposed in the liver and then excreted with the kidney. In the process of long-term use, it may lead to the double decline of liver and kidney function.
4. Pregnant women: If you take aspirin blindly during pregnancy, it may lead to fetal heart damage and low weight.
5. Gout patients: Although aspirin was originally used as an analgesic, aspirin is not the right choice for the pain of gout patients.
There is an old saying: three drugs are poisonous. Don't blindly follow the trend, because drugs suitable for others may not be suitable for you. If you take medicine blindly, it may pose a threat to your health. Therefore, be sure to consult a doctor before using aspirin.
The answer is simple, sooner or later. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is to keep eating every day.
In recent years, there are different opinions about taking aspirin in the morning or at night.
Some people think that it should be eaten in the morning, because platelets have the strongest aggregation, and thrombosis is most likely to form every morning (6: 00 to 10); Some people think that it should be taken at night on the grounds that taking aspirin at night can not only prevent thrombosis, but also help lower blood pressure.
In fact, these views do not have much basis. At present, there is no research to confirm whether it is better to eat in the morning or at night. Therefore, when to take medicine can be based on personal circumstances, and when it is convenient and convenient to insist on taking medicine for a long time.
Need to remind everyone that drinking or taking medicine after drinking may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, so people who have a lot of entertainment and often drink at night should take aspirin in the morning to avoid the harm of drugs and alcohol to the gastrointestinal tract.
