Product Overview
Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) is one of the most widely used medications globally, belonging to the NSAID class. It provides analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet effects.
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing prostaglandin and thromboxane production. Low-dose aspirin is a cornerstone of cardiovascular disease prevention due to its antiplatelet aggregation properties.
