Description
Ecosprin® is a low-dose form of aspirin, which active compound is an acetylsalicylic acid.
Ecosprin® belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) category of drugs, and has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fever effects, as well as reducing blood clotting.
It functions through interfering with an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever.
Ecosprin® reduces clot formation through inhibiting the production of a chemical in platelets termed thromboxane A2.
Ecosprin® can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions.
As with all NSAIDs, it can reduce fever, and relieves mild aches and pains, and works well against inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Its anti-clotting effects can be utilized to cut the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular issues.
