Aspirin prevents formation of new blocks in blood vessels and arteries. But it can not dissolve block developed over years. In the year 1897 Flix Hoffman, a doctor, under leadership of Echen Guen invented Acetyl Salicilic acid. In the same year the Bayer pharmaceutical company introduced the medicine in the brand name 'Aspirin'. It was available without doctor's prescription.

Due to blood pressure blood vessels are weakened. Particularly in the brain, heart and stomach. A research was done on 4000 people over the years of 8 years. Each one was given aspirin every day. 9 percent suffered from stomach ulcer and bleeding. But aspirin helped in preventing/reducing heart attack, stroke due to blood clot in brain, blood clot in limbs etc.

Platelets and fibronogen in the blood are responsible for blood clot. This may happen when blood pressure is low or concentration is high. Aspirin will disable those chemicals on platelets that are responsible for blood clot.

So consult your family doctor before taking aspirin everyday. Those with stomach ulcer and Gas problem should avoid this. An aspirin a day (75 mg) will prevent heart attack and stroke in future. Those people with diabetes and stroke might be attacked by stroke at any time. So regularly go for check-up with your doctor. Contact Doctor Arthanari MDDM for further clarifications.
