Aspirin Works Differently in Women
Through a Women’s Health Study researchers have discovered that the aspirin a day to prevent heart attack (findings that were based on studies for men) does not work the same for women.
This is leading to a whole study on how all medications work differently in women than in men. For example, common medications, including antibiotics, antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and some heart medications, cause more women than men to develop a potentially fatal irregular heartbeat.
Also, anesthesia affects women differently than men. Studies suggest that women may be less responsive than men when given anesthesia. Women also suffer more side effects from anesthesia, such as headaches and nausea.
Unfortunately,the FDA, only recently, began to analyze how being a woman or man affects the safety and efficacy of drugs.
My opinion? When you can, stay with nature, it doesn’t discriminate.
