Research summary
Aspirin is the well known name of acetyl salicylic acid and is used to help stop bood clotting, to reduce inflammation , to lower temperature and to reduce pain. Salicylic acid was the naturally occuring compound used before aspirin and has all the same properties apart from the anti-blood clotting property. When aspirin is ingested it is quickly transformed to salicylic acid. This study is designed to measure how much salicylic acid is in blood and urine comes from a soluble aspirin when people take it at different times from dissolving it.
The answers are being used to test the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the platlete effect or the salicylic acid available to the participants after taking multiple doses of soluble aspirin prepared just before swallowing or 40h before swallowing or 80h before swallowing.REC name
