He continued, “The elderly are more at risk of bleeding and stomach ulcers, as these side effects fall within the risks of liquidity medications and pain relievers.”
“When you take aspirin, the protective layer in the stomach decreases, and the person becomes more susceptible to bleeding and stomach ulcers,” said Dr. Mark Vendrick, a professor at the University of Michigan Medical School.
