Aspirin Used Occasionally and Not Daily Is Harmful!

Irregular use of acetylsalicylic acid (commonly known as aspirin) can have a variety of adverse effects, especially considering its blood thinning/thinning role;

1-Risk of Thrombosis (Coagulation): It is caused by the inability to prevent situations in which blood clotting plays a major role, such as heart attack, stroke or damage to other organs/tissues of the body, as it cannot adequately prevent the increased clotting mechanism when needed due to insufficient dose level.

2-Digestive System Damage: Aspirin is a drug that can irritate the stomach wall and cause conditions such as ulcers or bleeding. However, it has been observed that this undesirable side effect occurs more frequently if used irregularly and occasionally.

3-Rebound/Withdrawal Effect: If it is not taken daily when needed, rebound/withdrawal phenomenon may develop as its blood level constantly fluctuates. And it may create an increased clotting potential than if it were not used at all.

4-Potential Drug Interaction Effect: When taken irregularly, it may cause a tendency for the body’s adaptation mechanisms to fail and reduce the target effect.

CONCLUSION:

For individuals prescribed aspirin for cardiovascular prevention or treatment, consistent use as directed by a physician is essential. If irregular use occurs, it is important to consult a physician for guidance on how to proceed safely.
