Aspirin-free pain relief

Acetyl salicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, has been the most successful pharmaceutical product in the world. Aspirin is used widely as an analgesic, antipyretic, and antirheumatic agent. Its original benefits as an analgesic and fever reducing agent continue to be recognized today, and new and even more significant benefits have been found in recent years. Aspirin is a well-known analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agent widely used in the treatment of pain, fever and inflammation. It is particularly useful in the treatment of acute pain, such as post-operative pain. The use of aspirin for reducing the risk of a myocardial infarction and the use of statins for lowering cholesterol and preventing or treating atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease are well documented. It is well known that sudden vascular obstructions, especially those causing heart attacks and strokes, can be prevented in many cases by regular oral doses of aspirin. Unfortunately, ASA has serious side effects. It can be very irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, causing bleeding and ulceration. It can also lead to uncontrolled bleeding leading to hemorrhagic stroke. Aspirin is known for causing gastrointestinal bleeding when used for long-term therapy. It is therefore desirable in aspirin-free therapy that provides the same pain relief effects as aspirin.
