Indiscriminate Use of Aspirin Brings Two Questions
« _ L L..— »kwa>' 11 • 1 ♦ <1 A e, I ' s
By Joseph G. Molner. M. D.
DEAR DR. MOLNER: I realize 'hat aspirin is a
serious poison potential when used indiscriminately.
However I have two questions:
Or,#. _ Does poisoning occur from the system
building up a toxic amount over a prolonged time?
Does the body store it?
Two — Repeated use for headaches or pa.n
seems to build up a tolerance, so the recommended
dosage of two aspirins Is r.o longer effec*ive. Can an
occasional dose of three, or perhaps taking two and
following with two more two hours later, result In
poisoning? — J. S.
NOTHING IN in your letter Indicates any cause
for alarm.
The dangerous poisoning from aspirin is essen-
tially among children, when a bottle is left within
reach, when they think they'll "take a pill the way
mommy does,” when they think it's candy, and when
they haven't been told to leave things alone. (Best,
always, is to keep such things out of reach, and NEV-
ER to pretend that medicine is "candy." or "tastes
good" or will "make you big and strong.")
A 20-pound toddler can tolerate only one-eighth
as much of a toxic substance as a 160-pound adult. So
a grubby handful of aspirin tablets, even the ' baby
aspirins," can poison a child.
NOW FOR YOUR specific questions. Aspirin and
other salicylates have a wide margin of safety for
adults and any ordinary dose is unlikely to cause
symptoms of poisoning.
Further, an adult, even one sensitive to aspirin,
will notice other symptoms before serious poisoning
occurs. (There is a wide variation among individuals
as to the amount which will cause distress.)
Only a susceptible person would have any trouble
with a dose of one or two tablets (five to 10 grains).
Ordinary doses do their job and are eliminated. Aspi-
rin poisoning usually occurs only when large
amounts are taken in a short, space of time.
However, salicylate intoxication can occur In
persons taking large amounts over an extended time
This can affect the nervous system fringing in the
ears); increased breathing (hyperventilation); men-
tal confusion: derangement in the blood. There can
be alkalosis at first, finally an acidosis. .Some per-
sons develop a skin rash.
<I should point out that this sort of thing results
from long and heavy use — not ordinary headache
use, or the amount often prescribed for arthritis.)
SECOND QUESTION: Y'es. repeated use may de-
velop a tolerance to the average dose. However, If
aspirin alone does not give relief from pain, often a
compound (as one containing caffeine along with as-
pirin) will be more effective, especially for head-
aches.
It is mighty rare that an occasional dose of two
or three tablets will bother any but the most sensitive
person. And anyway, stomach irritation is pretty
likely to develop first, giving a gentle warning.

DEAR ABBV: Our eld-
est daughter had to get
married at 17, after having
gone steady with a "very t
nk e ' boy for three years,
so we made a rule for the
younger children — NO
('.DISC STEADY.
Now we are having trou-
ble with our 16-year-old
daughter She wants to go
steady. We said no, she
has to have a date with an-
other boy between dates
wi'h her special boy
friend She says no one
else asks her.
Tell me. Abby. how can
parents keep their children
from gomg steady? We
know from past experience
that it is dangerous, and
w» don't want any more
"hurry-up" marriages in
our family. But if the kids
don't want to go with any-
one else, or if no one else
asks them, what can par-
ents do* W OP.P.IED

DEAR MOTHER: In-
stead of making rules, if
paren’s would work toward
building the kind of rela-
lonsh.p with their children
•hat lends itself to straight
talk on a sensible, unemo-
tional basis, they would
fare better.
Let your children know
why to much togetherness

mal young people who
have a strong physical at-
traction for each other. Let
•hem know that this "at-
traction is usually equat-
ed with "love" — but don't
laugh and say it's only
puppy love." Tell them
'hat the only way to reduce
'emptation is to reduce the
'.me spent together alone.
Tell them that you are
aware that when young
people think they are "in
love." the more they make
out, the more difficult it Is
to control their desires,
and they seldom do less
when they're together than
they did last time.
