Dr. Yang Ziqi
Aspirin enteric-coated tablets are a common medication with multiple functions and applications:
1. Antipyretic and Analgesic: Suitable for relieving mild to moderate pain, such as headache, toothache, neuralgia, and dysmenorrhea. It can also be used for fever caused by colds and influenza.
2. Anti-inflammatory and Anti-rheumatic: As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aspirin enteric-coated tablets can inhibit inflammatory responses and are commonly used in the treatment of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis to alleviate pain and swelling caused by inflammation.
3. Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases: Low-dose aspirin enteric-coated tablets can inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce the risk of thrombosis, and thus help prevent cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
When using aspirin enteric-coated tablets, follow medical instructions carefully, pay attention to dosage and administration methods, and avoid long-term or excessive use to prevent adverse reactions.
