How to deal with side effects and what to do if they occur?
Mild Indigestions - Take your aspirin with a meal to avoid stomach upset. If indigestion persists, it may signify that the aspirin has triggered a stomach ulcer due to the medication. Talk to your doctor; they may prescribe something to protect your stomach or change your medication.
Bleeding more easily than normal - When participating in activities that could result in an injury or a cut, take extra care. When cycling, always make sure to wear a helmet. Gloves should be worn when working with sharp objects such as scissors, knives, and gardening tools. Instead of wet shaving, use an electric razor instead, and to clean your teeth, use a soft toothbrush and waxed dental floss instead. If you are concerned about any bleeding, you should consult a physician.
