Side Effects

Probably the most well known side effect of aspirin is that it has the potential to cause serious side effects like ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines. These problems are more likely in elderly people and those who've had peptic ulcers in the past. The risk can also be increased by taking certain other medicines.

Other possible aspirin side effects include:

• Increased time taken to stop bleeding or other bleeding problems (see below).
• Sensation of ringing, or other noise in the ears (tinnitus).
• Confusion.
• Allergic reactions such as skin rash, swelling of the lips, tongue and throat (angioedema) or narrowing of the airways (bronchospasm or asthma attack - see below).

Tell your doctor about any side effect that is troubling you. However, it's particularly important that you do this without delay if you experience any of the following:

• Any breathing difficulties or wheezing, or swelling of the face, throat or tongue.
• Any sign of bleeding in your stomach or intestine, for example vomiting blood and/or passing black/tarry/bloodstained stools.
• Any other unusual bleeding, for example nosebleeds, purple spots or bruising under your skin, blood in your urine or coughing up blood.
• Severe skin reactions, such as a widespread itchy rash, blistering or peeling of your skin.
