Using cortal at high dosages can cause bleeding, why?
- aspirin is actually an anticoagulant, at lower dosage, it is clinically used to dissolve blood clots caused by heart attacks. Therefore, high dosage of aspirin would cause profuse bleeding.
Is it a cytotec?
- don't even try asking me about it. I won't give you any answer.
Ps:
Don't use a medicament beyond what it is intended for. A medicament will always be effective if administered to the right patient, at the right time and at the right dosage . . . And so on and so forth. Speaking about rational drug therapy thingy.
