ASPIRIN is used as an analgesic (to relieve minor aches and pains), antipyretic (to reduce fever), and as an anti-inflammatory. It also has an antiplatelet ("blood-thinning") effect and is used in long-term, low doses to prevent heart attacks and blood clot formation in people at high risk for developing blood clots.
High doses of aspirin may also be given immediately after an acute heart attack; these doses may inhibit the synthesis of prothrombin and therefore produce a second and different anticoagulant effect, although this is not well understood.
The main undesirable side effects of aspirin are gastrointestinal distress—including ulcers and stomach bleeding—and tinnitus, especially in higher doses. Another adverse effect is increased bleeding in menstruating women, due to aspirin's anticoagulant properties. In children under 12 years of age, aspirin is no longer used to control flu-like symptoms or the symptoms of chickenpox, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome..
Aspirin was the first-discovered member of the class of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), not all of which are salicylates, although they all have similar effects and most have some mechanism of action which involves non-selective inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase....this is not imprtant for u that much
Anyhow..then u must get from what i said that u can get bleeding and getting bleeding means Anemia in most cases
Plus some people have Aspirin Sensitivity
from ur words..u don't but it can be by time too
YOU must do sensitivity test before taking any drug OF COURSE WHEN THE PHYSICIAN ASKIN SO Plus drugs are not a game..Don't take anything except after the physician telling u so..Even we as pharmacist usually we don't have the right to administer drugs to the patients although we know what we can administer cuz we took a subject called "Clincal pharmacy 1 and 2 and 3".....So we can get it.....But we can just do is if we felt anything wrong or there is a potentail for Drug interaction....All we can do is just adding comments...calling the doctor gave u the medicine and that's all...Accepting or Rejecting the comment depends on him
THAT'S WHY AFTER ENDING PHARMACY ..I WILL STUDY MEDICINE..SO AS NOT TO MISS A NANO WORD
D'accord.......AGAIN DON'T ADMINISTER DRUGS OR MEDICINES BY YOUR SELF..PLUS TAKING A LOT OF DRUGS LOWER THE IMMUNE SYSTEM..TAKE CARE

THESE ARE THE DOSAGE AND THE OVER DOSE COMPLICATIONS FROM MY CLINICAL BOOK.."EXCELLENT BOOK"..READ CAREFULLY
-----
Dosage
For adults doses of 300 to 1000 mg are generally taken four times a day for fever or arthritis, with a maximum dose of 8000 mg (8 grams) a day. The correct dose of aspirin depends on the disease or condition that is being treated. For instance, for the treatment of rheumatic fever, doses near the maximal daily dose have been used historically. For the prevention of myocardial infarction in someone with documented or suspected coronary artery disease, doses as low as 75 mg daily (or possibly even lower) are sufficient.
For those under 12 years of age, the dose previously varied with the age, but aspirin is no longer routinely used in children due to the association with Reye's syndrome; paracetamol (known in North America as acetaminophen) or other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, are now used instead. Kawasaki disease remains one of the few indications for aspirin use in children, with aspirin initially started at 7.5–12.5 mg per kilogram of body weight, taken four times a day for up to two weeks and then continued at 5 mg/kg once daily for a further six to eight weeks.
Overdose
Aspirin overdose can be acute or chronic. In acute poisoning, a single large dose is taken; in chronic poisoning, supratherapeutic doses are taken over a period of time. Acute overdose has a mortality rate of 2%. Chronic overdose is more commonly lethal with a mortality rate of 25%; chronic overdose may be especially severe in children.
Symptoms
Aspirin overdose has potentially serious consequences, sometimes leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with mild intoxication frequently have nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, lethargy, tinnitus, and dizziness. More significant symptoms occur in more severe poisonings and include hyperthermia, tachypnea, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia, hallucinations, confusion, seizure, cerebral edema, and coma. The most common cause of death following an aspirin overdose is cardiopulmonary arrest usually due to pulmonary edema.
Toxicity
The toxic dose of aspirin is generally considered greater than 150 mg per kg of body mass. Moderate toxicity occurs at doses up to 300 mg/kg, severe toxicity occurs between 300 to 500 mg/kg, and a potentially lethal dose is greater than 500 mg/kg. This is the equivalent of many dozens of the common 325 mg tablets, depending on body weight. However children cannot tolerate as much aspirin per unit body weight as adults can.

book writer replied: "Aspirins are hard on your kidneys, as a matter of fact,aspirin will destroy your kidneys, so don't take more aspirin than necessary!"
~~Webkinz~~StarDust8493~Nifoula~ replied: "Yeah! It's killing some people. You shouldn't take that much. and really *none*! Unless you are trying to prevent Heart Attacks.See a Local Doctor! NOW!"
Susan Yarrawonga replied: "You don't want to end up on a dialysis machine do you?
Besides destroying your kidneys you are likely to get stomach bleeding as well.
The less aspirin you take the better. Nil would be better than the maximum of 1 a day."
Blood pressure still going up? I'm female, 44 y.o. and have had a problem with my blood pressure for 6 mo. now. At the time I started having problems with it, I was under alot of stress. I thought that was causing the problem. I ended up going to the Emergency room when my BP spiked to 170/115 head hurt really bad and I was flushed looking. They did an EKG and it was fine, blood work was fine. They put me on 80 MG of Lisinopril. 40MG in the am and 40 MG at night. Didnt work. They said give it 2 weeks, Still didnt work. So I went to A reg. Doc and he said only take 40 MG in the am with, Amlodipine 2 1/2 MG at night. He did a blood profile, and everything came back ok except my good choloesteral, it was to low. So he put me on fish oil 1000 MG a day. plus the trusty asprin a day He also wanted me to take a water pill called Chlorthalid 25 MG once a day. I couldnt take the water pill, I took 1, and my kidneys hurt so bad, I couldnt even walk. Plus, it wasnt making me go to the bathroom. So he said stop taking it. I do need a water pill, My father has fluid around his heart, with big time heart problems.
So I quit the water pill. Everything has been going ok with my BP our goal was 120/75, and it stayed there for a while. BUT, I fixed the problem that was causing the stress, about 3 weeks ago. right before I fixed the problem, my BP started creeping up. I'm not to worried about it right now, it's only running around 150/98 But if it keeps going up???? MY question, is why isnt the meds working any more ? I'm in a happy place, I'm loosing weight, trying to quit smoking, My bad back stops me from exersizing, Please help me figure this out. I have 5 kids and 3 grandbabies I want to be around for. Why haven't I gone back to the docs? I moved. Hubby just now got a job will be a week before he gets his first paycheck,
JennyH replied: "The first thing is....and I know you probably hate hearing this, but I am sure smoking is a big factor in your blood pressure raising, also you have a family history of heart disease. I would continue with the medications, make the doctors appointment. They probably will have to make med. adjustments, maybe the Lisinopril is not working for you anymore. Your health is way more important, then worrying about paying them. Have them bill you. Explain to them your situation when making the appointment, they will understand. If they make you wait,, then I suggest finding another doctor. Are you seeing a cardiologist...if not I suggest you start seeing one, given your history. This needs to be taken care of...your BP being too high can cause a heart attack or stroke. Good luck to you!"
gangadharan_nair replied: "You have got hypertension- stage 3, your blood pressure being 170/115 mmHg. Your pulse pressure is 170--115 = 55 mmHg. Research suggests that an elevated pulse pressure (> 40 mmHg) may be a strong predictor of heart problems, especially for older adults.
Blood pressure 150/98 mmHg comes under stage 1 hypertension. Pulse pressure is 52 mmHg.
Lisinopril is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is used in combination with other medications to treat heart failure. Lisinopril is also used to improve survival after a heart attack. Lisinopril is in a class of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by decreasing certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently.
Amlodipine is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). Amlodipine is in a class of medications called calcium channel blockers. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It controls chest pain by increasing the supply of blood to the heart. If taken regularly, amlodipine controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts. Your doctor may prescribe a different medication to take when you have chest pain.
Chlorthalidone, a 'water pill,' is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions, including heart disease. It causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.
Secondary causes of hypertension are due to kidney problems. Please check the function of your kidney ( for microalbuminura, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) and heart ( for hypertrophy/ hypertensive heart disease) and retina (for hypertensive retinopathy). Hence you consult a Nephrologist.

Melmo replied: "There are several things you wouldn't think of that raises the BP that you should avoid. Caffeine, smoking, salt, (check your soda (pop) there is tons of sodium (salt) in soda) diet soda has even more sodium than regular soda, keep stress under control, read labels- a lot of times things are loaded with salt and you think they are good for you, even things like granola bars, etc. drink lots of water it will make you pee and flush salt out of your system, no alcohol, no chips, fries or fast foods (they use a lot of salt in fast foods, no weiners or lunch meat (loaded with salt) if you eat or drink any of these things that could be why you have high BP. A good fluid reducer is HCTZ, mention it to your Dr, he will know what I am talking about and you can start at 12.5 mg and move up to 25 or 50mg if it helps but you need a script for them. I take it, it is in my BP pills and my BP is finally great."
How do I control being stressed out? I have a problem. It only happens once in awhile. I get really stressed out. I work 10 hours a day and I've been doing overtime since december of last year. I workout excerise but it seems like its not enough. I drink hot tea and take asprin. Do I need to see a doctor? Or just stop doing overtime when they ask me at work? Is it because I'm not getting enough sleep?
Texas Cowboy replied: "Stop your overtime for a week and see if it helps. Hot tea and aspirin are not enough. You need to relax."
tarxi replied: "Try Chinese herbs"
susie q replied: "You need to find a balance of work and play. Try working for fewer hours you are exhausting your brain working hard like that for 10 hours daily. Go out on weekends and get a love interest. If you already have one, physical interaction will put you in a better mood for those stressful days.
Take warm, long bubble baths. Lean back on the tub and close your eyes and do nothing for a while but listen to music if you want. Do this as long as you can.
Get alot of sleep. Have a social life. Get weekly massages for a half and hour every week. Do yoga or meditate. Take vacations and don't be too hard on yourself.If you don't reach every single goal, don't get dismayed. You need a break and you need balance. Good luck!"
oldmanwitastick replied: "Hot tea? It means nothing unless it's the right tea. like: Catnip tea, Chamomile tea. These are calming teas, that give you a since of well being. Exercise is very good for stress. Also if you can learn self hypnoses it works extremely well."
Geegee replied: "You are probably correct in that you are not getting enough sleep. Be sure that you are not over-doing it with the over-time work as well. Your body functions on a seven day clock. Regularly take a day off where you completely stop and rest. Don't be held to a schedule on that day. A lot of people go to church on that day and free themselves from any excess demands. If you believe in God, He also says it in the fourth commandment: "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day...in it, thou shalt not do any work." (Read it in a King James version of the Bible.) If you believe that God made us (which He did!), you need to read the manual for our body's care. It's there! Continue to exercise and eat right, drink your water, and get some rest! (Also, don't eat too late, or your sleep will be unrestful.)"
Why am I getting head aches from eating sugar? I get head aches really frequently, like almost 3 or 4 times a week. I've noticed that when I eat a fairly large amount of sugar at once, I get a HORRIBLE head ache that doesn't go away for a whole entire day or longer. I know that if I take asprin or something it usually temporarily relieves it, but I kinda want to know the reason why it happens. Is there something wrong with me, or does that happen to most people?
Fe replied: "mayb u have devolept diabetes"
Goat G replied: "u could be diabetic"
That Greek Guy replied: "dont wnna scare u but i mite hav diabetes
or just sugar rush so dont eat too much sugar
it gets u FATTtttttttttttttttttttt"
artsy K replied: "yes it is possible to be diabetic but that's not the only possibility. you can check your blood the next time it happens though. your sugar level should be somewhere around 100 but it depends on your age, sex, and body. Helpful tip caffeine can cause migraines in some people"
Do you have any weird reocurring dreams? I keep dreaming about a guy I knew in high school. I had a huge crush on him and he was a "bad boy" and my parents wouldn't let me date him. He ended up actually killing himself by swallowing a whole bottle of asprin after stealing a car one day. Lately I have been dreaming about this guy at least once a week. Last night I dreamed I couldn't picture his face so I went to where he used to live and talked with his mom. His mom gave me a picture. Although in reality I haven't been able to picture the guys face since high school, I saw it vividly in the dream. Weird.
army_wife51b replied: "that is strange..i believe dreams are our subconsious trying to get through and tell us do to things, or give us advice. i always have strange dreams, i think about them thoroughly and try and figure out what my mind is trying to tell me.
i think you need some closure on this guy..he probably meant a lot more to you than you think he did. if you can, actually do go to his parents and talk to them about it. that will help you.
remember, dreams never lie."
smartypants909 replied: "I keep having a dream that seems so real. I wake up in the middle of the night and see a big spider dangling over my face. I rub my eyes and its still there.

rent_diva34 replied: "Oh yeah.
I've had this nightmare since i was in first classroom:
I'm in a classroom with a girl I was best friends with in first grade. The rest of the class is there too and we're all listening to a speech by Bob Saget (yes I'm serious I have nightmares about Bob Saget). For some reason or another he gets really angry and falls into a cup of coffee. He turns into a dragon and starts destroying the classroom. My and EMily run down the hall and he chases after us. Then I wake up.
I have the dream at least once a year for 13 yrs now."

I was waiting on a park bench and the dream is full of color..a man walks over to me and reaches for my hand and we walk and smile....the latter dream was better ..but still baffling..."
ptr_tape replied: "First a few thoughts about your dream. Now, some people could interpret that this guy has some importance in your life. I would disagree; in the dreams most things that represent something don't exactly look like the thing they represent. In this case, I would guess the appearing of this guy means that you have been lately thinking about matters related to incidents in your life back then. Most of these questions would probably fold around the concept of parenthood: were your parents right when they didn't let you date him? How much should you try to choose your child's friends? How can you be such a good parent, that your child won't become a "bad boy" like that guy? Did his parents do something wrong, or do things like that just happen? Now, I don't know if you have children of your own, or what would make you think parenthood, but I would guess it is a birth of a child somewhere near you (or your own child growing up to the age where he/she starts to hang out with other children).
Now about your question. Last time I had a recurring dream was when I was 6 years old. That's a long time ago, but that dream had a big influence in my life back then, and still has. I learned to control my dreams, and it started to teach me how to face my fears in the real world too. The dream was about some kind of a monster hiding in the darkness in our living room (which was between my bedroom and my parents bedroom in my childhood home). From time to time I still think about that dream, and occasionally visit that house in my dreams (sadly this is the only option, because that house doesn't exit in the real world anymore). Every time I've given particular thought to that dream, I've learned something about my childhood or life in general.
Sweet dreams."
