The story of aspirin began millennia ago, as ancient cultures (including Sumerians and Egyptians) used willow bark—which contains salicin—to treat pain and fevers.

Unlike other NSAIDs like ibuprofen, aspirin permanently disables the COX enzyme for the life of the platelet (about 8–10 days).

It is generally recommended not to give aspirin to children under 16 due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition.

Prescribed for long-term daily use to reduce the risk of further cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or ischaemic strokes.
