Aspirin is a pain reliever with anti-inflammatory effects.

Even at low doses, it reduces the tendency of the blood to clot, and is therefore useful to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The anti-clotting effect means aspirin is best avoided in injuries that tend to bleed. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it useful for tendonitis.

Aspirin can irritate the stomach. The pills should be taken with food (if possible) to prevent stomach upset. Aspirin should be avoided by persons with active ulcers, and by those on anticoagulants (blood thinners). Aspirin decreases the tendency of the blood to clot for many days after a single dose.
