MOA Aspirin
IRREVERSIBLY acetylates cyclooxygenase
(central and peripheral tissue)
Effects of ASA
-decrease inflammation & fever
-decreases coaguation via platelets
-analgesic
How does ASA reduce coagulation
Decreases thromboxane (d/t COX inhibition)
Thromboxane - enhanses platelet aggregation
(takes 2 wks for reversal of this - new platelets formed)
