Pharmacology

Aspirin prevents thrombus development on the arterial side of the circulation by lowering platelet aggregation, where thrombi are generated by platelet aggregation and anticoagulants have minimal impact. For headaches, transitory musculoskeletal pain, and dysmenorrhoea, aspirin is the analgesic of choice. It may be beneficial since it contains anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. Aspirin with an enteric coating lowers gastrointestinal ulcers and intestinal disruption.
