Surgeon: Aspirin Is A Health Hazard Prescription Only
CHICAGO AP A surgeon researcher says aspirin is a health hazard and should be sold only by prescription along with all other potent drugs Dr Rene Menguy professor of surgery at the University of Chicago said it has long been known that aspirin can cause internal bleeding and sometimes death yet it continues to be sold over the counter Menguy told a press conference at the clinical congress of the American College of Surgeons there are no statistics on aspirin related fatalities but that he would guess there are 1000 a year About 20 million pounds of the drug are used each year in the United States Menguy and colleague Dr Adele Mae Gottschalk reported results of a study they made on the effects of aspirin on the stomachs of rats They said aspirin reduces the protective mucous secretion in the stomach which allows acid to penetrate its walls Menguy who has been studying aspirin for 10 years said physicians and the public do not always realize that aspirin can cause massive sometimes lethal internal bleeding He estimated that one out of every seven or eight patients who report to hospitals complaining of internal bleeding have the problem as a result of taking aspirin although tens of thousands of people take the drug with no trouble Menguy said the person who takes aspirin only occasionally as he does himself is less likely to develop serious bleeding problems than the chronic user who takes four to six tablets a day over a long period Aspirin users particularly women may develop gastric ulcers he said The best way to take aspirin is with food and aspirin should never be taken on an empty stomach He said the worst time to take it is when suffering from a hang over because alcohol increases the damaging effect
