Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven't had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance.
Doctors have long recommended daily low-dose aspirin for many patients who already have had a heart attack or stroke. The task force guidance does not change that advice. The independent panel of disease-prevention experts analyzes medical research and literature and issues periodic advice on measures to help keep Americans healthy. Newer studies and a re-analysis of older research prompted the updated advice, Wong said.
Block, who is not on the task force, recently switched one of her patients from aspirin to a cholesterol-lowering statin drug because of the potential harms.
'Why dont the people trust us anymore?' The people moving on information, finding out it was misinformation, but then finding the original information was the information:
No shit Sherlock, it's a close to a blood thinner and could damage the liver.
Take ivermectin instead.
Most adults shouldn't take daily aspirin. Full stop. 😬
