Aspirin

About Aspirin
Salicylate, Non narcotic analgesic, anti pyretic ,anti inflammatory.
Mechanism of Action of Aspirin
Aspirin has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic action. Analgesic action: Central action: Aspirin acts on the Hypothalamus and inhibits the generation of pain impulses.
Peripheral action: It acts by inhibition of Prostaglandin (PGs) synthesis by blocking the activity of the precursor enzyme cyclo-oxygenase.
Anti-inflammatory action: It acts by inhibiting Prostaglandin (PGs) synthesis and their release at the site of injury. Prostaglandins cause tenderness and amplify the action of other algesics. Aspirin inhibits cyclo-oxygenase enzyme and antagonizes prostaglandin actions. It also inhibits other inflammatory mediators.
Antipyretic action: Aspirin lowers fever by affecting thermoregulation in the CNS and by inhibiting the action of prostaglandins peripherally. Aspirin inhibits the production of prostaglandin E1 which is the powerful pyretic agent.
Anticoagulant action: Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of Thromboxane A2 and Prostacyclin (PGI2). This leads to inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Pharmacokinets of Aspirin
Absorption: Aspirin is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body in protein bound form. Metabolism: It is completely metabolised in the liver. Excretion: Excreted in the urine.
