Aspirin is a salicylic acid derivative. Its main functions are to relieve fever, analgesia, and anti-inflammatory. Aspirin rarely causes side effects. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort or pain, bleeding and perforation of gastrointestinal ulcers, etc. A small number of patients will also experience allergic reactions, reversible tinnitus, liver and kidney function damage, etc.
aspirin can resist platelet aggregation, reduce thrombosis, and reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is widely used in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. Although aspirin has many benefits, any drug has its limitations. The safety of taking aspirin for a long time must not be ignored, especially for people who are taking aspirin, you must pay attention to the following 5 points.

Reminder: Taking aspirin for a long time and ignoring these 5 points is equivalent to eating for free, and there are even risks!
. Indications: Each drug has its own indication, and aspirin is no exception. People who need to take aspirin include angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral infarction, , stents, lower limb artery stenosis ≥50%, or risk factors such as diabetes hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity, high homocysteine, etc. There are two or more people who need to take aspirin under the guidance of a doctor to prevent thrombosis.
. Drug time: Aspirin ordinary tablets can directly dissolve and stimulate the gastric mucosa in the stomach, causing upper abdominal discomfort, indigestion, stomach pain, and other adverse reactions. It is recommended to take them after a meal. After mixing this medicine with food, it can reduce the damage to the gastric mucosa.
The surface of the enteric-coated tablets has an acid-resistant and not alkali-resistant coating, which dissolves less in the stomach. It generally needs to be in an intestinal alkaline environment to help explain. If taken after a meal, food will absorb gastric acid and cause the pH value in the stomach to increase, thus making the gastric juice close to the alkaline environment. The medicine will easily dissolve in the stomach and the residence time in the stomach will also be prolonged.
so it will increase the contact time of the gastric mucosa and aggravate the damage to the gastric mucosa. If taken on an empty stomach, the acidic environment in the stomach is relatively strong, the drug coating is not easy to dissolve, and the stomach emptying speed is fast on an emptying day. The drug enters quickly from the stomach, and the intestine reduces the contact time of the gastric mucosa, so the damage to the gastric mucosa is also less, so aspirin enteric-coated tablets should be taken on an empty stomach.
. Drug time: No matter what medicine you take, many people want to figure out when it is the best time to take the medicine. First, when taking aspirin, you should evaluate whether the cardiovascular risk is a high hazard at night, or the risk of cardiovascular development after getting up in the morning?
If the risk is high at night, you can choose to take it on an empty stomach at night. If the risk of cardiovascular disease occurs after morning, you can choose to take it after morning. Whether it is taken in the morning or at night, you must take it on an enteric-coated tablet on an aspirin tablet on an empty stomach and take it at a relatively fixed time. If it is taken at 10 pm, you should also take it at around 10 pm tomorrow.
4. Can you take it once every other day: About 10% of fresh platelets are produced in the human blood every day, and the lifespan of platelets is about 7 to 14 days. If you take aspirin enteric-coated tablets every other day, the drug cannot reach the effective blood concentration in the body, and the antiplatelet effect will decrease or disappear.
If platelets are not normally inhibited, there is a risk of thrombosis, which will affect the prevention and treatment effect. Therefore, aspirin enteric-coated tablets need to be taken every day and cannot be taken once every other day.
5. Pay attention to bleeding risks: aspirin prevents thrombosis by inhibiting platelet polyester. Therefore, coagulation dysfunction is one of the most common side effects of aspirin. You must observe and pay more attention to the long-term use of aspirin to prevent the occurrence of bleeding risks.
If skin, mucous membranes appear during the use, nosebleed , bleeding gums , black stools, etc., or other serious side effects that cannot be tolerated, be sure to seek medical attention in time and let the doctor decide whether to stop the medication or change other drugs.

Are there any side effects of taking aspirin for a long time?
As the saying goes, medicine is three parts toxic. All drugs have certain side effects. Taking long-term consumption will damage the body. If you take aspirin regularly, it will cause an increase in toxins in the body, which will seriously affect the kidneys and liver. Taking aspirin will have a great impact on the stomach and intestines, which may cause abnormal secretion of gastric acid, and will also damage the inside of the stomach and intestines, leading to the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. In severe cases, it will lead to the production of gastric cancer .
If taken for a long time, it will interfere with the blood and inhibit the formation of prothrombin. Therefore, some people who are not in good health must not rely on this drug, because this drug will cause the condition to worsen. If taken for a long time, it may cause subcutaneous bleeding, which often manifests as bruised skin or bleeding spots, or even bleeding gums or nose bleeding.
. Hemorrhage: Long-term use of aspirin may cause iron deficiency anemia , and may also cause bleeding.
. Gastrointestinal hazards: Taking aspirin for a long time may cause gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting in patients, and may even cause peptic ulcers in patients.
. Liver and kidney hazards: It may cause liver damage to , causing interstitial nephritis, renal necrosis, renal hypofunction and other diseases.
4, Central nervous system : Central nervous system: It may cause symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, headache, etc. It is recommended that patients must take aspirin as prescribed by doctors, and remember not to take it privately for a long time.
