How It Works

Acetylsalicylic acid in Micropirin 75 works by irreversibly inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which is responsible for producing thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes platelet aggregation. This action helps prevent the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
