Review the section of your internal medicine text on aspirin toxicity. There is no difference. My mother has recently suffered a stroke and has now been released from hospital. She has been prescribed Aspirin, which we suspect that she is allergic to. Aspirin is used to inhibit the effect of the platelets.
Platelets are the blood component that is one of the steps necessary for clotting.
Aspirin will permanently inhibit the ability of platelets to function. The risk of aspirin is bleeding. However, they work only as long as they are present in the blood-not permanently. Consequently, since they also have the same risk as aspirin concerning bleeding they are rarely used. This drug is usually taken three times a day and is only effective when present.
