ADULT ASPIRIN REGIMEN (aspirin)


Drug overview for ADULT ASPIRIN REGIMEN (aspirin):

Generic name: aspirin (AS-pir-in)
Drug class: Low dose Aspirin (81 mg or less)
Therapeutic class: Hematological Agents

Aspirin (the prototype of the salicylates) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIA) and also exhibits antithrombotic, analgesic, and antipyretic activity.

Aspirin is used extensively in the treatment of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammatory diseases. Aspirin is also used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis. Aspirin, however, should be used with extreme caution, if at all, in patients in whom urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, severe rhinitis, or shock is precipitated by other salicylates or other NSAIAs.

(See Cautions: Sensitivity Reactions in the Salicylates General Statement 28:08.04.24.)
