ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Entrophen (acetylsalicylic acid) has analgesic, antipyretic and
anti-inflammatory properties.
In rheumatic diseases, although the analgesic and antipyretic effects
are useful, the major purpose
for which ASA is used is to reduce the intensity of the inflammatory
process. Inhibition of
prostaglandin synthesis may be involved in the anti-inflammatory
action of ASA.
ASA also alters platelet aggregation and release reaction by
inhibiting prostagiandin synthesis.
Thromboxane A2 is an essential step in platelet aggregation. ASA
prevents Thromboxane A2
formation by acetylation of platelet cyclooxygenase. This inhibition
of prostaglandin synthesis is
irreversible and affects platelet function for the life of the
platelet.
The enteric coating substantially resists disintegration in aqueous
fluids having a pH lower than 3.5
for a period of at least 2 hours and is capable of disintegrating in
aqueous fluids having a pH of at
least 5.5 in from 10 to 30 minutes. Thus, enteric coating effectively
inhibits the release of ASA in
the stomach, while allowing the tablet to dissolve in the upper
portion of the small intestine for
absorption from the duodenal area.
Clinical experience has shown that enteric-coated acetylsalicylic acid
diminishes or eliminates
gastric distress during long-term treatment with high doses of ASA.
