A recent study of patients with stroke due to cerebral hemorrhage revealed that these patients could use aspirin to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

As aspirin dilutes the blood, doctors are cautious about using this medicine against the risk of further bleeding.

But the world-renowned medical journal The LancetA recent study published in Australia showed that aspirin did not increase or even reduce the risk of new bleeding in the brain.

Experts stress the need for further research despite "solid data".

It should be noted that aspirin should be taken only on the advice of the physician and should not be administered to children under 16 years of age.

Benefits and risks of aspirin

Aspirin is often used as a painkiller and antipyretic.

In order to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, aspirin can be taken at a rate of 75 mg per day.

Most strokes are caused by the formation of clots in the cerebral vessels. However, there are strokes caused by bleeding.

Aspirin can cause more bleeding in patients when the blood is cleared.

In addition, aspirin is not a medicine that everyone can safely use.

It can cause indigestion and, more rarely, stomach ulcers.

Children under 16 can only receive the advice of a doctor.

Aspirin is a rare but serious disease in children and can cause Reye's syndrome, which causes brain and liver damage.

The study, published in Lancet magazine, is presented at the conference of the European Organization on Stroke in Milan.

What do the experts say?

This study does not prove that aspirin prevents the risk of stroke but indicates that it reduces the risk. It also does not show that aspirin is always safe.

However, the use of a low dose of aspirin daily may be beneficial for stroke patients due to cerebral hemorrhage.

Research conducted on 537 patients in the United Kingdom showed that the risk of new bleeding decreased. However, it is not yet clear that in all patients in this position, such an effect will also occur.

Professor Rustam Salman, head of the research team at the University of Edinburgh, said:

"The right thing to do for the moment is not known." Doctors are reluctant to give aspirin and similar medications to patients with stroke, and there is no guide at all. UK and Europe not to find enough data. "

Ası About a third of people with cerebral hemorrhage have it when they take anticoagulants, such as aspirin, to reduce the risk of heart attack and clot formation as a result of A blood clot. There are strong findings that they can continue to take these drugs with the potential for rescue, "he says.

However, patients who have concerns are advised to consult a physician before modifying their medications.

Doctors recommend the following to reduce the risk of stroke:

• A healthy diet
• Regular exercise
• No smoking
• Avoid excess alcohol
