Wenger EVEN ASPIRIN CAN HURT YOU In America, there is a hidden drug problem. It stems from the misuse or excessive use of common over the counter (OTC) drugs which seem harmless. Some examples illustrate the problem. Aspirin is one of the most widely used medicines in the world. Americans consume nearly 30 million pounds each year. Used properly, aspirin is an effective pain reliever. But excessive use has been known to cause kidney damage, ulcers, anemia - even death. Each year 200 deaths result from overdoses of aspirin, with children the most frequent victims. Dieting has become a way of life for many Americans. Rather than properly balanced amounts of food and exercise, some dieters seek an easy way to lose weight - an OTC diet pill. Abuse of diet pills can lead to dependency on stimulants, the main ingredient of any diet pill. You may lose weight, but you gain another problem. OTC pills may chase pain and pounds away. But excessive use of such medicine can hurt you. To safeguard your health, exercise caution when using any over the counter drug. Frank J. Radvany Secretary of the Board ATTEST: Albert J. Stelkovics National Secretary 20
