Disprin is a common over-the-counter pain reliever that contains aspirin, a type of medicine called a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Aspirin works by reducing hormones that cause pain and swelling in the body.
Here's how it works:
- Reduces Prostaglandins: Aspirin blocks the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and fever.
- Thins Blood: Aspirin also helps to thin the blood, making it less likely to clot. This can be helpful in preventing heart attacks and strokes.
How Disprin Helps With Pain Relief:
When you take Disprin, the aspirin is absorbed into your bloodstream and travels to the site of pain. It then blocks the production of prostaglandins, which reduces the pain signals sent to your brain.
Important Considerations:
- Always follow the instructions on the label.
- Talk to your doctor before taking Disprin if you have any underlying health conditions.
- Disprin can interact with other medications, so it's important to tell your doctor about all the medications you're taking.
