A research found that intake of aspirin on a regular basis raised the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This situation is one of the chief causes of blindness in adults.
6th August, 2013 USA (http://www.realpharmacy.co/) : Aspirin, also known as ASA, is used as a painkiller. Aloof from curing common conditions like pain, inflammation, and flu, it also has anti-clotting properties. This makes it a widely directed pill to preclude heart diseases and strokes. Many people use aspirin for distinct reasons.
A Study carried out has cleared the air concerning aspirin and its effects on vision. A research found that intake of aspirin on a regular basis raised the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This situation is one of the chief causes of blindness in adults.
Researchers observed nearly 2,400 middle-aged and elderly people, for a span of 15 years. Among all the people, 257 were regular users of aspirin. The rest of the users used the pill occasionally. At the end of the study, all participants were subjected to a health evaluation.
AMD is the major cause of blindness in the elderly. AMD generally affects the 'macula' – the part of the eye that helps one see fine details. There are two types of AMD: mostly wet and dry. In case of 'wet' AMD, the reason is growth of abnormal blood vessels under the macula. These blood vessels are inclined to breakage. This directs to blood and fluid leakage, which harms the macula, and may lead to blindness.
The study then examined the health of regular aspirin users among the participants. It was noticed that nearly 1 in every 10 regular aspirin users had developed wet AMD. This was approximately 9.4 percent of the total regular aspirin users. So, the risk of blindness increased threefold in regular aspirin users, as estimated to those who consumed the pill occasionally.
Regular aspirin use was significantly linked with an increased incidence of wet AMD. It was also found that the risk for AMD was identified only after a long time span, mostly after 10 to 15 years.
