Aspirin has been on the market for 100 years and we have used it to fight pain and discomfort. However, the best-selling and beloved medicine also causes damage. Although it has cost them to take the first steps, experts have announced that the medicine that will eliminate all these damages will be ready by the year 2000.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory that has been used primarily against rheumatism for a hundred years. Aspirin is also known for people with polyarthritis and arthritis. Even when we have invited fever, headache or vaginal pain, we soon swallow aspirin.

But it cannot be a wonderful medicine. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin also cause damage. It mainly causes gastric dysfunctions, including ulcers. Some patients also have bleeding, as aspirin makes it difficult for platelets to work. Aspirin also affects the kidneys and nervous system.
