The established and emerging uses of aspirin.
In this paper, summary narratives on the established and emerging uses of aspirin are presented. On the former, aspirin is used to treat conditions such as headache and also reduce the risks associated with cardiovascular disease and also with pre-eclampsia. On the latter, aspirin might be taken more widely by individuals over 50 years, used as a dietary supplement to possibly reduce cancer risk and used post-transplant to improve organ survival. Aspirin will continue to be an important therapeutic agent and to generate considerable interest among the research community for the foreseeable future.
