Medique Aspirin Coupons & Savings Card – Discount Prices from $3.83

Aspirin is a medication commonly used to lower fever and alleviate mild to moderate pain, including discomfort from muscle aches, toothaches, the common cold, and headaches. It is also effective in reducing pain and swelling associated with arthritis. As a salicylate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aspirin works by inhibiting a natural substance in the body that causes pain and swelling. In certain cases, your doctor may recommend a low dose of aspirin to help prevent blood clots, thereby decreasing the risk of stroke and heart attack. After surgeries involving clogged arteries, such as bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy, or coronary stent placement, aspirin may be prescribed in low doses to serve as a "blood thinner." Always consult your doctor before giving aspirin to children under 12 years old.
