Unfortunately, many people still depend on Aspirin as a rapid analgesic for many chronic diseases for a long time, their stomach is subjected to ulcer, and recently some researches recommend Aspirin for cardiac patients although many selective COX inhibitors are discovered, that's made me ask why these researches ignore the other risks for Aspirin.
In dermatology, Salicylic acid has a wide rang of use in many drug formulae anti inflammatory, peeling and keratolytic at all ages but in infants as regards of large skin surface area as compared with body weight a salicylism ( salicylic acid poising) has high incidence.
It was not long time in taking Aspirin but an instant serious mistake that lead to death. I contribute this to all my dear RG friends to take care.
I was about 17 years old when this story happened: Near our house, there was a blacksmith who used to produce iron doors & windows. He was a strong man but he suffered from stomach ulcer. It was a terrible morning which I cannot forget. The man died on the spot after taking 2 Aspirin tablets on an empty stomach. The young man, who used to work with him, told the gathering persons around the dead, including me, that Fadel "that was his name" came with acute headache so he took the tablets before breakfast. Medical doctors found that the stomach of the dead had a newly formed hole which lead to his passing.
Dear Mohamed and RG fellows,
Decades ago, people took aspirin to cure all diseases. Industrial development provided the mass production and mass consumption also. An examination into the drains had revealed a high presence of the active ingredient of aspirin. At the time, because even the environmental impacts of pollution, cancer was at the highest level as the use of aspirin.
Perhaps it is a question of dose. Daily in small doses can be beneficial as for many other items and food.
To whom read this post before I use a cell phone which cuts message change word etc. So, the original post was:

Dear Mohamed Aoued
Personally I take acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg for over 4 years. This is an antiplatelet agent. I read a lot of studies have been performed on patients with cardiovascular disease. It Seems that gives excellent results.

It is very effective with low dose between 80-100 mg daily as prophylaxis. Some times the side effects like gastritis in some persons . It is better to take it after meal.
