ESGIPYRIN TAB 15. S

About

Esgipyrin Tablet typically contains Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Aspirin works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever. This mechanism provides its analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-reducing), and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, at lower doses, Aspirin inhibits platelet aggregation, making it effective as an antiplatelet agent to prevent blood clots.

It is commonly used for symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of fever, and management of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. Its antiplatelet properties are crucial in preventing cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes in at-risk individuals. Due to its potential for gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding, it should be used with caution and as directed by a healthcare professional, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions.
