Glossary Aspirin

pain reliever and anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits cyclooxygenase

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a widely used medication that serves as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and blood thinner. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which in turn reduces the production of prostaglandins—compounds involved in pain, inflammation, and blood clotting.
