Understanding Aspirin: Your Body's Multi-Purpose Defender
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a time-tested salicylate medication that has been helping Filipinos manage pain, fever, inflammation, and heart health for over a century. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for multiple health conditions.
How Aspirin Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body is a busy city with different problems. Aspirin acts like a skilled maintenance crew:
- Pain & Fever: Blocks "pain messengers" (prostaglandins) like turning off alarm systems
- Inflammation: Reduces swelling by calming down overactive repair cells
- Blood Clots: Makes platelets less sticky, like adding soap to prevent traffic jams in your blood vessels

Who Should Take Aspirin?
Aspirin is perfect for:
- People with occasional headaches, muscle pain, or fever

- Patients with arthritis or joint inflammation
- People at risk for stroke or heart attack (low-dose therapy)
- Anyone needing reliable, multi-purpose pain relief
Aspirin vs. Other Pain Relievers: What Makes It Special?
Unlike paracetamol (just pain/fever) or ibuprofen (pain/inflammation), Aspirin offers the unique benefit of heart protection through its blood-thinning properties. It's the only over-the-counter pain reliever that can prevent heart attacks and strokes when used appropriately!
