what is the rationale behind usage of asprin?

Answer 1

Prostaglandins cause tiny particles in your blood (known as platelets) to stick together to form a blood clot. By inhibiting prostaglandin production, aspirin slows down clot production. Although this can be bad, such as with a bloody nose -- in which case you want a clot to form -- blood clots can be damaging as well, such as in causing heart attacks by clogging the blood vessels that bring oxygen and energy to the beating heart.

Answer 2

Asprin keeps the blood from forming to big of clots. Some place clots are benificial. But on the inside of your body you sometimes get lesions and then if the clot gets to big it can occlude a vessel that can be very detramental- possibly cause a heart attack or stoke in your brain. Asprin has been found to be benificial in many medical studies. All the mechinisims of asprin are not known.

Answer 3

Aside from pain relief, it also is quite beneficial in low dosages for those at risk of a heart attack due to a clot, since it thins the blood.

Answer 4

Aspirin acts as analgesic and anti-platelet aggregation or it thins the blood. This is used to not only eliminate headaches and pain but also it is used or people who has a heart attack and stroke.

Answer 5

basically in a nut shell, your blood goes through several stages when forming clots called a clotting cascade. aspirin affects how the platelets interact with each other in the clotting process.
