acidHave other name called aspirinbelongs to a group of medicines
called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
How it worksIt works by blocking the action of a substance in
the body called cyclo-oxygenase (which involved the production of
various chemicals in the body such asprostaglandins, prostacyclins
and thromboxane.It can be use in 2 waysHigh DoseLow DoseAlso used
in emergency situation for example heart attack
High dosesIt prevent the production of
prostaglandinsProstaglandins are produced in response to injury or
certain diseasesAspirin is seen as a pain-relieving doseCan be use
for inflammation
Low Dosesprevent the production of thromboxane by blood cells
called platelets.Thromboxane is one of the chemicals that causes
platelets to clump together and start off the clotting process.
Stopping its production therefore reduces the likelihood of clots
forming in the blood. Clots in the blood can cause a heart attack
or stroke, and low dose aspirin is therefore used to prevent this
