Can aspirin cause cerebral hemorrhage?
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, was known to the ancient Greeks as early as ancient Greece. After long-term exploration, it was finally found that salicylic acid was the antipyretic component in willow bark. After successful extraction, it was found that it was too irritating to the stomach. 1897, German chemist Hoffman successfully acetylated salicylic acid into acetylsalicylic acid, which maintained its original efficacy and had little side effect, namely aspirin. After Germany's defeat in World War I, aspirin lost its patent protection and soon spread all over the world, especially peptic ulcer and bleeding. Even if the preparation process of aspirin is improved, aspirin can still cause serious digestive tract adverse reactions, especially digestive tract ulcers and bleeding, because it has no selectivity for COX. Therefore, patients should pay attention to whether there is discomfort in the stomach and abdomen when using it, especially those who use it for a long time, and should develop the habit of observing the color of feces. If there is black stool and bloody stool caused by non-food reasons, you should go to the hospital in time. For patients with a history of asthma, aspirin can reduce endogenous vasodilators after inhibiting COX, leading to aspirin asthma and aggravating asthma. For patients with aspirin asthma, salicylic acid drugs such as aspirin should be strictly prohibited. Aspirin can produce various interactions when combined with different drugs.
