Aspirin belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Aspirin has the function of relieving fever and pain, and is clinically used for antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-platelet aggregation. Aspirin can treat many diseases, but also has relatively large side effects, especially severe gastrointestinal reactions. When taking aspirin, it is generally necessary to cooperate with acid-suppressing and stomach-protecting drugs. The indications for aspirin are:
1. Reducing the risk of onset of suspected acute myocardial infarction.
2. Preventing recurrent myocardial infarction.
3. Secondary prevention of stroke.
4. Reducing the risk of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and its secondary stroke.
5. Reducing the risk of onset of stable and unstable angina pectoris.
6. After arterial surgery or interventional surgery, such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), carotid endarterectomy, arteriovenous shunt.
7. Preventing deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after major surgery.
8. Reducing the risk of myocardial infarction for individuals with cardiovascular risk factors (family history of coronary heart disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, smoking history, age over 50 years old).
Contraindications for aspirin:
1. Patients who are about to undergo surgery should discontinue this medication one week before surgery to avoid coagulation dysfunction.
2. Long-term alcoholics, especially those who have just consumed alcohol, should not use aspirin, as it can exacerbate the decomposition of gastric mucosa into salicylic acid and acetic acid, causing adverse gastrointestinal reactions.
3. Patients with coagulation disorders are strictly prohibited from using this medication, as it can cause spontaneous bleeding in the body.
4. Patients with ulcers should avoid using aspirin, especially those with gastric or duodenal ulcers, as taking aspirin can cause bleeding or perforation.
5. Patients with asthma should avoid using aspirin, as some asthmatics may experience allergic reactions after taking aspirin.
