While aspirin is a common medication used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent heart attacks, it is not without risks. Certain individuals are more susceptible to these risks when taking aspirin daily.

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, people with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders are at an increased risk of gastrointestinal side effects from daily aspirin use [1]. This is because aspirin can irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines, leading to bleeding.

Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that older adults, particularly those aged 70 and older, are at a higher risk of bleeding complications from daily aspirin use [2]. This is due to the natural aging process, which can thin the lining of blood vessels and make them more susceptible to bleeding.

Furthermore, Mayo Clinic states that people who take blood-thinning medications or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in combination with aspirin may be at an increased risk of bleeding [3]. This is because these medications can also thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding.

In summary, individuals with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders, older adults, and those taking blood-thinning medications or NSAIDs in combination with aspirin are at an increased risk of bleeding complications from daily aspirin use.
