DATE OF REVISION: Toronto, Ontario July 26, 2004 ©Copyright Bayer Inc. 2000 Control# 092023 NAME OF DRUG ASPIRIN* (acetylsalicylic acid tablets, USP) THERAPEUTIC OR PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic and platelet aggregation inhibitor. ACTIONS Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) interferes with the production of prostaglandins in various organs and tissues through acetylation of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase. Prostaglandins are themselves powerful irritants and produce headaches and pain on injection in man. Prostaglandins also appear to sensitize pain receptors to other noxious substances such as histamine and bradykinin. By preventing the synthesis and release of prostaglandins in inflammation, ASPIRIN* may avert the sensitization of pain receptors. The antipyretic activity of ASA is due to its ability to interfere with the production of prostaglandin E 1 in the brain. Prostaglandin E 1 is one of the most powerful pyretic agents known. The inhibition of platelet aggregation by ASA is due to its ability to interfere with the production of thromboxane A 2 within the platelet. Thromboxane A 2 is, largely, responsible for the aggregating properties of platelets. - 3 - INDICATIONS ASPIRIN* (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) is indicated for the relief of pain, fever and inflammation of a variety of conditions such as influenza, common cold, low back and neck pain, dysmenorrhea, headache, toothache, sprains and strains, fractures, myositis, neuralgia, synovitis, arthritis, bursitis, burns, injuries, following surgical and dental procedures.
