SAN DIEGO – New medical research has revealed a possible harm to taking daily aspirin, causing health experts to change their recommendations regarding aspirin.
Doctors have for years recommended that people in their 50s begin taking baby aspirin every day to guard against heart attacks and strokes. Dr. Larry Emdur, Chief Medical Officer at Alvarado Hospital and Prime Healthcare Services, joined KUSI’s Logan Byrnes on “Good Evening San Diego” to discuss the new medical findings surrounding aspirin.
