As you know that there are a lot of non-prescription drugs sold through Over the Counter (OTC).
We might be familiar with OTC drug called as “aspirin,” since its commonly used for medication of:
- relieve pain.
Then, Aspirin may relieve from light to medium pains such as:
- muscle aches, toothaches
- arthritis
Another use of Aspirin is to prevent blood clot in the artery. The clot obstructs the flow of blood which may cause:
- strokes (due to disturbance of blood flow in the brain)
The facts, based on reported from Annals of Internal Medicine (2019) that millions of people in the USA take Aspirin daily, strangely even they don’t have heart diseases.
Then, why do they take Aspirin every day?
