Acetyl salicylic acid also known as aspirin is used for decreasing the risk of heart attack and death in those people who had a history of coronary artery disease. Also, it is used for the treatment of inflammatory symptoms like fever and pain. It is supplied in the different forms like 81 mg chewable tablet and 325 mg oral tablet.
Ibuprofen is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain and for the inflammation caused in people due to arthritis and musculoskeletal pain. It is given as a 200 mg oral tablet or a capsule. It is monitored in those people who had a history of bleeding disorders and stomach ulcers.
