Aspirin and other salicylates have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Aspirin is used for the relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, dysmenorrhea, myalgias and dental pain. It has also been used in the management of pain and inflammation in acute and chronic rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. In the treatment of minor febrile conditions, such as colds or influenza, aspirin can reduce temperature and relieve headache and joint and muscle pains.
Aspirin is also used for its antiplatelet activity in the initial treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction and for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients at risk. Other such uses include the treatment and prevention of cerebrovascular disorders such as stroke.
