True-aspirin is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (nsaid. asprin works by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, chemicals that are released when there is inflammation and that cause pain and fever. nsaids block the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins. as a consequence, inflammation, pain, and fever are reduced. inhibition of prostaglandins also reduces the function of platelets and the ability of blood to clot. aspirin, inhibits the function of platelets in a manner that is different from other nsaids, and its antithrombotic effects last longer than other nsaids. this is why aspirin is used for preventing heart attacks and strokes.
