Formula Information

This formulation of Acetyl Salicylic Acid 3 mg/ml Oral Liquid is a specially designed medication for oral administration. It is a convenient and easily ingested dosage form that ensures accurate delivery of medication. This formulation is particularly beneficial for patients who find it difficult to swallow solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. It is also a preferred choice for pediatric and geriatric populations who may have difficulty with traditional dosage forms.

Acetyl Salicylic Acid, commonly known as Aspirin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. This makes it an effective treatment for a variety of disease states, including mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Furthermore, Acetyl Salicylic Acid has antiplatelet effects, meaning it can prevent blood clots from forming. This makes it useful in preventing heart attacks and strokes in patients at high risk. However, it's important to note that this medication should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as it can cause side effects such as stomach irritation and bleeding.

As compounding pharmacists, we can customize this formulation to meet the specific needs of individual patients, adjusting the concentration of Acetyl Salicylic Acid as necessary. This allows for personalized treatment plans that can improve patient outcomes and adherence to medication regimens.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Acetyl Salicylic Acid, commonly known as Aspirin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat a variety of conditions such as pain, fever, and inflammation. It is also often used in low doses to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and blood clot formation in people at high risk.

However, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using Acetyl Salicylic Acid. This medication may interact with other drugs, leading to increased risks of side effects or decreased effectiveness of the medication.

Acetyl Salicylic Acid may interact with anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, clopidogrel, and others, increasing the risk of bleeding. If you are taking any of these medications, it's important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting Acetyl Salicylic Acid.

It may also interact with certain high blood pressure medications, such as ACE inhibitors and diuretics, potentially reducing their effectiveness. If you are on any blood pressure medication, make sure to inform your healthcare provider.

Acetyl Salicylic Acid can also interact with other NSAIDs, increasing the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding. It's important to avoid taking other NSAIDs while on Acetyl Salicylic Acid unless advised by your healthcare provider.

Furthermore, Acetyl Salicylic Acid may interact with certain medications used for gout, such as probenecid and sulfinpyrazone. These interactions could lead to increased levels of uric acid in the blood, worsening gout symptoms.

Lastly, Acetyl Salicylic Acid may interact with certain antidepressants, specifically SSRIs, increasing the risk of bleeding. If you are taking an SSRI, it's important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting Acetyl Salicylic Acid.

It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.

Remember, this is not a complete list of all possible drug interactions. Always consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Acetyl Salicylic Acid, commonly known as Aspirin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain, fever, and inflammation caused by various conditions such as arthritis, and to prevent blood clots.

In this specific formulation, Acetyl Salicylic Acid is prepared as a 3 mg/ml oral liquid. This means that for every milliliter of the liquid, there are 3 milligrams of Acetyl Salicylic Acid. This formulation is designed to be taken orally, and is particularly useful for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. This can include pediatric and geriatric populations, as well as patients with certain medical conditions that make swallowing difficult.

The Acetyl Salicylic Acid in this formulation works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclooxygenase. Cyclooxygenase is involved in the production of various chemicals in the body, some of which are known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or certain diseases and would otherwise go on to cause pain, swelling and inflammation. By blocking the effect of cyclooxygenase, Acetyl Salicylic Acid is able to reduce these symptoms.

Furthermore, Acetyl Salicylic Acid has an antiplatelet effect, which means it makes the platelets in the blood less sticky and therefore less likely to form clots. This is beneficial in preventing heart attacks and strokes, which are often caused by blood clots.

It's important to note that while this formulation provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. The dosage will depend on the patient's condition and response to the medication. As with any medication, there can be side effects, and patients should be monitored for these. Common side effects can include gastrointestinal issues such as stomach pain, heartburn, or nausea.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Acetyl Salicylic Acid (ASA) also known as aspirin, is primarily known for its use in a variety of cardiovascular conditions. The effect of ASA can be attributed to its ability to inhibit the production of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. This works similarly as a blood thinner, which can be beneficial for preventing heart attacks and stroke, notably in patients with a history of these conditions. Moreover, the medication has been found to be an effective treatment in the relief of mild to moderate pain and can assist in reducing fever–making it useful for managing symptoms of various infections.

In addition to these primary uses, ASA oral liquid formulation can be used in other conditions as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It can be used as an anti-platelet agent in certain coagulation disorders to decrease the blood's ability to form clots. Hence, it may be used off-label to prevent blood clots in veins or arteries, which can reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack.

In lower doses, the formulation may be prescribed for its anti-inflammatory properties to help manage conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It aids in decreasing the symptoms of these inflammatory disorders by controlling the inflammation, thus enhancing a patient’s function and mobility. Furthermore, it might be used off-label in the treatment of Kawasaki disease, a rare pediatric condition, where it helps in reducing inflammation and preventing the formation of blood clots.

Note that patients and prescribers should be aware that dosage, frequency, duration, and route of administration may vary depending on the condition being treated. It's important to note that ASA should be used with caution in patients with gastric ulcers or bleeding disorders, as it may have adverse gastrointestinal effects and risk of bleeding. It's always crucial to discuss other possible treatments and medications the patient may be taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements, due to potential drug interactions. Nevertheless, the liquid formulation can be particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, including pediatric and geriatric populations.

All other uses of Acetyl Salicylic Acid 3 mg/ml Oral Liquid should be made only under the direction and supervision of a healthcare provider. If you have additional questions regarding this formulation, please feel free to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.
