Quotes about aspirin (16 Quotes)








    Several earlier studies have found that, among patients with a history of colon polyps or cancer, regular aspirin treatment prevents the recurrence of precancerous polyps. However, the ability of aspirin to reduce the long-term incidence of invasive cancer has not been well-demonstrated. Our study did find a protective effect of long-term aspirin use on risk of invasive colorectal cancer, but only at dosage levels considerably higher than those used to prevent cardiovascular disease.



    We saw an increase in aspirin use among U. S adults since 1999, with a majority of adults using aspirin to reduce the chance of a heart attack or stroke. Aspirin use among those with diabetes is also increasing to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. The trend is encouraging, especially in times when prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity and diabetes, is increasing.



    We also found that other drugs that have been proven to save lives are even less consistently used than aspirin, such as beta-blockers, cholesterol-lowering drugs and ACE inhibitors. Our analysis showed that consistent use of these medicines could lead to significant reductions in risk for patients with coronary artery disease.


    Aspirin reduces clotting of the blood, so it can help prevent a heart attack or stroke by making it less likely a clot will form and block an already narrowed artery,

    The implication is that doctors and the media and paid advertising by aspirin manufacturers have had a positive impact. The approximately one-third reduction in heart attacks and fatal heart attacks in patients taking aspirin will help reduce the death and disability from coronary heart disease in the United States.

    If children need to get permission to receive an aspirin at school or parental permission to leave school grounds for a field trip, it makes sense that mom or dad should be notified that their young daughter is going to have a serious surgical procedure such as abortion.
