Americans consume more than
twenty tons of aspirin each day.
Why? It is excellent as a fever
reducer and a pain reliever.
Aspirin works because it blocks
the production of prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins arc hormone-like
materials made in every tissue in
the body. They are involved in
numerous functions. They regulate
blood pressure and affect clotting;
they promote conception and
stimulate labor; they regulate
transmission of nerve impulses and
inhibit the flow of gastric juices.
New uses arc being found every
year.
Excessive amounts of prosta-
glandins produce pain, inflam-
mation and fever. That’s where
aspirin comes in. By blocking
prostaglandin formation, the fever,
pain and inflammation can be
reduced.

Recent studies seem to indicate
that aspirin may be effective in
preventing the formation of deadly
clots that can lead to heart attacks
and strokes. Some doctors are now
recommending an aspirin a day to
patients with severe heart pains or
those who have had an earlier heart
attack. The studies are not
conclusive, so it may be too early to
hail aspirin as the great life saver.
There is a dark side to the
aspirin story. It causes more
persons to be hospitalized due to
adverse reactions than any other
over-the-counter drug.
Certain persons are very allergic
to aspirin. They may have difficulty
breathing or develop abdominal
pain. Their heart beats may become
irregular. They may go into shock
and die. These highly susceptible
persons are often those with asthma
or other severe allergies. Obviously,
they must avoid aspirin.
For the rest of us there may be
other problems. Aspirin is hard on
the stomach. It breaks down the
barrier that protects the stomach
against its own acid. It can,
therefore, lead to stomach bleeding
and promote the formation of
ulcers. This effect is even greater if
alcohol is in the stomach at the
same time as aspirin. If a person
who is taking large doses of aspirin
(6 tablets per day for 2, or i more
i days) is exposed to loud sounds,
some temporary loss of hearing may
result.
Studies have also implicated
aspirin in the development of
Reye’s Syndrome in children and
teenagers who have recently had
the chicken pox or flu. A swelling
of the brain combined with liver
and blood problems can lead to a
coma and death. It is not known
what causes Reye’s Syndrome, but
studies indicate that young people
who take aspirin when they have
the flu or chicken pox are
twenty-five times more likely to
develop Reye’s.
High doses of aspirin in animals
have led to birth defects.
There is no evidence, however,
that normal doses of aspirin cause
birth defects in humans. It can alter
the effects of certain prescription
drugs. Check with your doctor
before taking aspirin while on other
medication.
