Mode of action

Acetylsalicylic acid has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. The mechanism of action is based on the irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase. This enzyme is involved in the formation of prostaglandins, a group of endogenous messenger substances that, among other things, mediate pain and inflammatory reactions in our body. Due to the same mechanism, acetylsalicylic acid also inhibits platelet aggregation and thus improves the flow properties of the blood.
