Aspirin A.S.

Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for mild to moderate pain or fever including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It works by blocking pain impulses in the central nervous system and inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Potential side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding, tinnitus, and rash. Nursing responsibilities involve monitoring liver and renal function, as well as signs of hepatotoxicity, if the patient is on long-term therapy.
