How does aspirin work?
(this question is related to biochemistry) As in, how does it thru your body and get into the blood and then what does it do?
Answers:
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is absorbed primarily from the gastrointestinal into the capillary plexis of the gut and into the general circulation. As a drug it have several useful properties. First, it has antithrombic properties, meaning that prevents blood clots from forming (good preventative medication for older patients or those at risk for stroke or myocardial infarcts). It also is a good anti-inflammatory drug. The mechanism of management is that acetylsalicylic acid inhibits prostoglandins (which cause inflammation) and reduces hallucination. It also has some antibacterial properties. It is a greatly under appreciated drug! Source(s): I am a forensic psychopharmacologist, author of several texts, and qualified neuropharm for 20 years.
Its a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) look it up.
