Bayer Aspirin helping reduce heart attack risks

 While UK doctors prefer to administer Paracetamol as a pain relief drug, US and continental doctors have a preference for Aspirin.
Aspirin is an anticoagulant, which means it helps reduce blood clotting. It also has a similar pain relieving effect to Paracetamol which makes it a very useful resource. Brands like Bayer Aspirin are widely available at pharmacists.
When administered to patients suspecting a heart attack, Aspirin has been proven to reduce the risk by up to 23% , and when taken for 30 days following a heart attack can minimalise the possibility of further attacks.
Aspirin works by reducing the number of platelets produced in the blood stream. Too many platelets can lead to clotting of the blood. Platelets release a prostaglandin called thromboxane, and Aspirin has an irreversible prostaglandin blocking ability which inhibits the biosynthesis of thromboxane. This process greatly reduces the possibility of blood clotting.
It is always advised that professional medical help is sought before taking aspirin, especially if you’re already taking prescription drugs. Although Aspirin is available over the counter, always consult your doctor first.
