Take aspirin, these 5 points, you must knowHello everyone, I'm Dr. Yuan Geng.
Many people have misconceptions about aspirin, and today I will tell you about the five common misunderstandings of oral aspirin, so that you will not get lost on the road to health.
The first is that aspirin cannot be taken for a long time, and eating too much will hurt the bodyThis is wrong, compared with the harm caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, aspirin is not worth mentioning, so we must follow the doctor's advice and adhere to safe medication.
The second is that aspirin must be taken after mealsThis is also wrong, ordinary aspirin is generally taken after meals, but enteric-coated aspirin is generally taken on an empty stomach.
The third is that there are already new drugs that can replace aspirinThis is also wrong, at present, aspirin is still the first choice for ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and cardiac stenting.
The fourth is that aspirin is a health care productThis is also wrong, aspirin is a drug, not a health supplement, and must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
The fifth misconception is that you don't need to take both aspirin and statins, just take oneThis is also wrong, aspirin is to inhibit the aggregation of platelets and prevent the formation of thrombosis, while statins are to adjust blood lipids, stabilize plaques, and prevent plaque rupture, their effects are different, and the combination of the two can effectively reduce the probability of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events.
