Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Aspirin: It kills 20,000 Americans every year Common over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin kill around 20,000 Americans every year, and another 100,000 end up in hospital as a result of taking the drug, new research reveals. Painkillers known as NSAIDs (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs) are far more dangerous than people have been told, and can cause life-threatening gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, stomach perforations and ulcers. http://www.wddty.com/03363800371681349145/aspirin-it-kills-20-000-americans-ever\ y-year.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 You can avoid that problem by crushing the aspirin into a powder and disolving it into a glass of water before taking it. It won't sit in your stomach and burn a hole through it! oleander soup , robert-blau wrote: > > Aspirin: It kills 20,000 Americans every year > Common over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin kill around 20,000 > Americans every year, and another 100,000 end up in hospital as a result > of taking the drug, new research reveals.
