How It Works

Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. This action reduces inflammation and prevents platelets from clumping together to form blood clots. At low doses, aspirin’s antiplatelet effect is its primary mechanism for preventing cardiovascular events.

Dosage

The typical dose is one 75mg tablet daily, usually taken with water after dispersing the tablet. Always follow your doctor’s instructions, as dosage may vary based on individual medical conditions and risk factors.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include stomach irritation, nausea, and indigestion. Less common but more serious side effects can include gastrointestinal bleeding. Long-term use may increase the risk of stomach ulcers.

Warning

Aspirin can cause serious bleeding in some people. It should not be given to children or teenagers with viral illnesses due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before using aspirin, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.
