ASA & Vitamin C

Depletes Vitamin C. This medication is commonly used for Pain Management

Why ASA affects Vitamin C

Regular use of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) can increase how much vitamin C your body gets rid of through urine, potentially leading to deficiency. If you take aspirin regularly, consider supplementing with vitamin C supplementation.

Related Health Impacts

  • Eye Bleeding & Vision Issues

    Vitamin C deficiency weakens collagen in capillary and vascular walls, so severe scurvy can present with ocular hemorrhages in the conjunctiva and retina that threaten vision if not treated. Case reports and small series describe retinal hemorrhages, flame‑shaped hemorrhages, and even retrobulbar bleeding compressing the optic nerve, which can lead to optic neuropathy and visual loss in advanced cases. The encouraging point is that, when vitamin C deficiency is recognized early and promptly repleted, many ocular hemorrhages and visual symptoms can partially or fully resolve, making it critical to consider vitamin C status in patients with otherwise unexplained ocular bleeding and visual complaints.
