ASPIRIN
Bleeding issue
The next time you reach for that tab to treat your upset stomach or heartburn, stop and consider one of the many antacids that don’t have aspirin. Aspirin-containing medicines to treat heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, or upset stomach can cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, warns the US Food and Drug Administration. In 2009, the FDA issued a warning about serious stomach bleeding risks with aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Yet, a recent FDA review found eight new cases of serious bleeding caused by aspirin-containing antacid products since that 2009 warning. People are slow to learn.
