Medicines With
Mutiple Uses
Although we may think that
medicines have just one specific
use, many medicines have multip!e
uses. Aspirin, for example, is one
of our most versatile medicines.
Some health experts refer tojtas the
"miracle drug." Common aspirin is
useful as a pain reliever, fever re-
ducer, and inflammation fighter.
Aspirin may also help prevent the
occ urrence of heart attacks because
of its ability to prevent the forma-
tion of small clots in the blood-
stream.
In low doses magnesium hydrox-
ide (Milk of magnesia) is useful as
an antacid. In higher doses, magne-
sium hydroxide draws water into
the bowel and serves as a gentle
laxative.
Antihistamines such as
diphenhydramine and chlorphenir-
amine can be used for relief of a
variety of health problems. The
histamine-blocking action of these
medicines makes them valuable in
preventing or relieving allergic
reactions to pollens, dust, insect
bites, l~i~lmous plants, and bee
stings. The drying-effect of anti-
histamine rovides relief of runny
nose and congestion associated with
thccommoncold. Also, the drowsi-
ness associated with most antihista-
mines makes them ideal ingredi-
ents in nonprescription sleep aid
tablets and capsules.
