Description
Aspirin EC 81 mg tablets are an over-the-counter medication primarily used as an analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory agent. This enteric-coated formulation is designed to minimize stomach irritation by allowing the tablet to dissolve in the small intestine rather than the stomach. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins.
Its primary indication is for the prevention of thrombotic cardiovascular events, particularly in patients with a history of myocardial infarction or stroke. By preventing platelet aggregation, it reduces the risk of blood clots that can obstruct blood vessels, leading to potentially life-threatening events.
Despite its therapeutic benefits, aspirin should be used cautiously due to potential side effects, including gastrointestinal irritation, bleeding, and allergic reactions. It is contraindicated in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as active peptic ulcers or hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
