ABSTRACT
Background: Clinical observations suggest that the regular use of aspirin reduce the risk of ischemic stroke and Parkinson´s disease.
Methods: We report the use of aspirin and clonazepam into two patients with essential arterial hypertension (EAH) and aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in a woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM).
Case report: Case 1, is a 65-year-old man with history of EAH, which was treated with captopril. On July 2000, he received aspirin and clonazepam as supplementary medication. Four years later, his blood pressure was normalized without antihypertensive medication.
Case 2, was a 75-year-old woman who suffered of type 2 DM between 45 to 60 years of age. Moreover, since 55 to 75 years, she presented osteoarthritis. So then, since 55 to 60 years she received antidiabetic treatment, aspirin and NSAIDs. After 60 years of age, her glycemias were normal and without antidiabetic therapy.
Case 3, is a 62-year-old woman who suffered from stress, sleep disorders and EAH, since ten years before her admission. From the first, she received only aspirin and clonazepam. At present, 11 months later, her blood pressure is normal.
Conclusion: These clinical observations suggest that the regular use of aspirin may improve or normalize EAH and type 2 DM.
