Mechanism of Aspirin in Lowering Blood Pressure

Aspirin enteric-coated tablets are an antiplatelet medication and do not lower blood pressure. If your blood pressure is markedly elevated—exceeding the threshold for Stage 3 hypertension—you must initiate antihypertensive drug therapy. Irbesartan tablets may be used long-term for blood pressure control. Uncontrolled hypertension places patients at risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. Aspirin enteric-coated tablets can help prevent cerebral infarction and coronary artery disease, particularly in patients with hypertension.
