- Aspiring is an effective antiplatelet agent that inhibits cyclooxygenase - 1 (COX - 1), leading to reduced levels of thromboxane A 2, a potent promoter of platelet aggregation.
- Aspirin is widely used in high-risk individuals to prevent myocardial infarction and stroke.
- Aspiring may also reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
- The reduced platelet action increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic strokes.
