Description
Aspirin has the advantages of being inexpensive to buy and available without the need of a doctor's prescription. It is the most widely used drug in the world thanks partly to its relative lack of toxicity and low addictive. Of no less importance than its use as a drug have been the advances aspirin has made possible in the fields of physiology and medicine as a result of the unravelling of its mechanism of action. The elucidation of the mechanism of action of aspirin also allowed the rational development of new therapeutic agents with similar activity to add to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs already found by empirical means. This book deals in a comprehensive way with the pharmacology of aspirin and the scientific discoveries made possible by the use of aspirin and aspirin-like drugs.
