ASA

ASA, or Acetylsalicylic Acid, is commonly known as aspirin. It's a medication used to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. Additionally, in low doses, it helps prevent blood clots, which can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. ASA works by inhibiting certain substances in the body that promote pain, swelling, and blood clotting. It's widely used both as a daily preventive for at-risk individuals and for short-term relief of minor ailments. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping its use, especially if you have bleeding issues or other health concerns.
