Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, primarily acts as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic agent by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which reduces the production of prostaglandins involved in inflammation, pain, and fever. Additionally, it has antiplatelet effects, preventing blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which is beneficial in cardiovascular disease prevention. These pharmacological effects make aspirin useful in treating conditions like Arthritis, headaches, and cardiovascular diseases. However, it can also cause gastrointestinal irritation and increased bleeding risk.
