Question
Chapter 7, Problem 31RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The relationship between the action of salicylate or aspirin that researchers believe accounts for some of their therapeutic effects.
Concept introduction:
The salicylate is a natural compound that is obtained from the bark of the willow tree. The salicylic acid is acetylated to form acetyl-salicylic acid, which is commonly known as aspirin. Aspirin is a common pain killer and is also used to treat fever or inflammation.
Aspirin is given to the people who are at risk of heart attack. So, it is useful in preventing heart attacks. When the aspirin is given shortly after a heart attack, it reduces the chances of death also.
