Gingival hyperplasia may not be the effect of aspirin, and aspirin is not considered as a priority causative factor. Currently, it is believed that drug gingival hyperplasia is mainly caused by calcium channel blockers, antiepileptic drugs, and immunosuppressants.
In addition, some patients with hypertension can also have gingival hyperplasia caused by daily use of calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine, verapamil, amlodipine, and felodipine. Therefore the effects of these drugs are first ruled out and aspirin is not usually considered first.
