Abstract
Aspirin can be an effective antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, but unfortunately, its use in the elderly is often excessive [43]. In a survey by Gillies and Skyring, the overall prevalence of daily aspirin intake was greater in middle-age and older-age groups than for those of less than 40 years of age [16]. The elderly are susceptible to the advertising of non-prescription drugs and aspirin is frequently self-prescribed [8,31]. Age-related physiological changes modify the response to aspirin in the elderly. A higher incidence of drug reactions and interactions has been evidenced in this age group. The cases cited throughout this report substantiate the need for caution on the part of the geriatric patient and the physician in regard to aspirin therapy for the elderly.
