Describe the four therapeutic effects of aspirin. - Analgesic: provides relief from mild-to-moderate pain by inhibiting
prostaglandins
- Anti-inflammatory: inhibiting the release of prostaglandins thus reducing
inflammation
- Antipyretic: reduce fever by acting on the hypothalamus to cause
vasodilation and sweating, which increases heat loss from the skin and
lowers an elevated body temperature
- Anticoagulant: prolongs clotting time by inhibiting thromboxane a
substance in the blood that normally causes platelets to aggregate and
form a clot.
