How does aspirin work?
Aspirin reduces the production of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which are produced in tissue throughout the body. Prostaglandins have many functions. They are part of the chemical messenger systems involved in feeling pain, fever, the redness and swelling that can accompany injuries, and even in contracting certain muscles, for example the uterus. Since aspirin lowers the amount of prostaglandins, it can help alleviate conditions like pain, fever, and the discomfort of menstral cramps.
Aspirin also reduces production of substances involved in the early stages of our body’s blood clotting mechanism. This is why doctors may prescribe aspirin, as part of a regimen, for appropriate individuals to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke.
