Drug of choice of Aspirin Toxicity and treatment


There is no specific antidote for aspirin toxicity. Treatment is supportive and aimed at removing the aspirin from the body and correcting any metabolic abnormalities.


The drug of choice for aspirin toxicity is activated charcoal. It is a black powder that binds to aspirin in the stomach and prevents it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. 

Activated charcoal is most effective if given within 1-2 hours of ingestion, but it can still be helpful even if given later.

Other treatments for aspirin toxicity may include:

Intravenous fluids: To prevent dehydration and correct any electrolyte imbalances.
 
Sodium bicarbonate: To make the urine more alkaline, which helps to remove aspirin from the body more quickly.
 
Hemodialysis: A procedure that uses a machine to filter the blood and remove waste products, including aspirin. Hemodialysis is typically only used in severe cases of aspirin toxicity.

Low dose of Aspirin is used for the treatment of various CVS complications including MI and High blood Pressure.  Mechanism of Action  Aspirin irreversibly acetylate the serine part of both of the COX enzymes (COX-1, and COX-2). Low dose of Aspirin is used to irreversible blocking of TXA2.  COXs are responsible for the conversion of AA to PGG2 to PGH2 and then Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) which upon binding to the TP (alpha and beta) receptor results in platelet aggregation. and induces blood clotting phenomenon.  For example: Blood clotting in the atherosclerotic plaque results in the development of Angina (unstable).   Inhibition of COXs Results decreased production of TXA2 and thus platelet aggregation does not occurs and Anginal condition may be prevented. thus decreased chances ...
