In rheumatic diseases, although the analgesic and antipyretic effects are useful, the major purpose for which ASA is used is to reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may be involved in the anti-inflammatory action of ASA. ASA also alters platelet aggregation and release reaction by inhibiting prostagiandin synthesis. Thromboxane A2 is an essential step in platelet aggregation. ASA prevents Thromboxane A2 formation by acetylation of platelet cyclooxygenase. This inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis is irreversible and affects platelet function for the life of the platelet. The enteric coating substantially resists disintegration in aqueous fluids having a pH lower than 3.5 for a period of at least 2 hours and is capable of disintegrating in aqueous fluids having a pH of at least 5.5 in from 10 to 30 minutes. Thus, enteric coating effectively inhibits the release of ASA in the stomach, while allowing the tablet to dissolve in the upper portion of the small intestine for absorption from the duodenal area. Clinical experience has shown that enteric-coated acetylsalicylic acid diminishes or eliminates gastric distress during long-term treatment with high doses of ASA. 3 Pharmacokinetic Information Since pms-ASA EC are enteric-coated, the pharmacological effects are not immediate.
