Potentially Fatal: May potentiate effects of anticoagulants, methotrexate and oral hypoglycaemics.
Aspirin
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.
