Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid, Crystal Grade 2080-C) is a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also extensively employed in cardiovascular therapy for its antiplatelet (blood-thinning) effect, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.
Bluepill Express manufactures high-purity Aspirin Crystal Grade 2080-C API under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and cGMP-certified facilities, ensuring consistent quality, stability, and pharmacopoeial compliance for pharmaceutical formulations. This grade is ideal for tablet and capsule production, offering excellent solubility, uniformity, and compressibility.
Therapeutic Uses
- Pain relief: Mild to moderate headaches, muscle pain, and joint pain
- Fever reduction: Antipyretic effect for common colds and flu
- Anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammation in arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders
- Cardiovascular protection: Low-dose therapy for prevention of heart attacks, strokes, and thromboembolic events
- Combination therapy: Used in combination with other cardiovascular or pain management drugs
Mechanism of Action
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), preventing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and thromboxanes. This reduces pain, inflammation, and fever. The antiplatelet effect is due to inhibition of thromboxane A2 synthesis, decreasing platelet aggregation and promoting cardiovascular protection.
