Aspirin is classified under antipyretic (decreases temperature) and a non-opioid analgesic (reduces pain). It can also be used as a anti-thrombolytic (anti-clotting agent- 81mg) It makes the platelets (blood component responsible for clotting) slippery so they don't stick to anything in the vessels, which decreases your risk of DVT (blood clots).
