PHARMACOLOGY
Acetylsalicylic acid has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic
effect due to inhibition of
prostaglandin synthesis. The mechanism of action is irreversible
inhibition of the cyclooxygenase
enzyme that regulates the synthesis of prostaglandins E2, I2, and
thromboxane A2. One of the main
mechanisms of headache while migraine attacks is aseptic neurogenic
inflammation of blood vessels
and dura mater. Acetylsalicylic acid, inhibits the formation of
prostaglandins, which are mediators of
inflammation, reduces irritation of pain receptors of the trigeminal
nerve system. On the other hand,
acetylsalicylic acid inhibits synthesis with endothelial vascular
nitric oxide, which is involved in the
initiation and maintenance of an attack of migraine headache.
The maximum effect of the drug develops within 10-20 minutes.
