asetilsalisilik

Asetilsalisilik, commonly known as aspirin, is a medication used to reduce pain, fever, or inflammation. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain natural substances in the body that cause inflammation. Asetilsalisilik is available over-the-counter and by prescription. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, and menstrual cramps. In low doses, it is also used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in people at high risk.

Asetilsalisilik was first synthesized in 1897 by Felix Hoffmann at Bayer. It quickly became a widely used medication due to its effectiveness and relatively low cost. However, like all medications, it can have side effects. Common side effects include stomach upset, heartburn, and nausea. More serious side effects, though less common, can include stomach bleeding, allergic reactions, and ringing in the ears. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms. Asetilsalisilik should not be given to children or teenagers with viral infections due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
