Is Aspirin dangerous for us

Take aspirin regularly may be more dangerous, according to a new study by British scientists.

The researchers found that the risk of bleeding from taking aspirin is so big that regular use of these drugs by healthy people can not be advised, although they did not said the usage by patients with a history of vascular disorders.

Results of the study ‘Aspirin for Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis (AAA)’ add to debate about whether the potential dangers of taking aspirin can beat its benefits in reducing the risk of blood clots or not.

“We know that many patients with symptomatic vascular disease, such as angina, heart attack or stroke, can reduce the risk of further disruption by taking a small dose of aspirin every day,” said Professor Peter Weissberg, Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, who has helped fund the research.

“The findings of this study in accordance with our current advice that people who do not have symptomatic or diagnosed artery or heart disease should not take aspirin, because the risks of bleeding may more than the benefits,” he said. The study was led by Professor Gerry Fowkes from ‘Wolfson Unit for Prevention of Peripheral Vascular Diseases’ in Edinburgh, Scotland, and presented at the “European Society of Cardiology Congress” in Barcelona.

The study involved 3,350 men and women aged 50 to 75 years. The all people get veins swell in the leg, but they do not have symptoms of heart disease or history of heart attack. They were given daily doses of 100 milligrams of aspirin and monitored for eight years.

Although there was no difference in the number of heart attacks, strokes and other events related to the heart and blood vessels, major bleeding occurred in 2% of the group given aspirin compared with only 1.2% group was given it’s substitution.

So consult a trusted doctor before you decide to take aspirin.
