Aspirin may reduce the risk of preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a tension increase resulting from pregnancy, this is usually very dangerous for both the mother and the baby. Now a study prepared by British scientists in collaboration with Australian scientists has shown that aspirin may be effective in reducing the risk of preeclampsia.

However, we already know that certain drugs should always be administered under medical prescription, since it could be that what is possibly beneficial to mitigate a disease or problem could be detrimental in other aspects to the health of the fetus.

In the study, the data of 32,000 women with their respective babies were taken, the data obtained showed that future mothers who had taken any antiplatelet medication or aspirin, presented up to 10% less complications as is the case of preeclampsia. Perhaps future moms who have a higher risk of suffering these tension increases can take advantage of the benefits that a simple aspirin can bring, but always, and this is a must, under medical prescription.

Although the study has not found a significant relationship between this drug and the possible and serious problems such as blood loss, fetal death, etc., some theories indicate what may be the causes of preeclampsia, the symptoms are known but it is unknown the origin, this is one more reason why this study should be supported by other investigations that certify the data obtained, it will be better not to launch the bells on the fly.

The study data has been published in the digital magazine The Lancet.
