Question
Chapter 24, Problem 10RAT
To determine
The correct option for the statement “How do over the counter analgesics like aspirin work?”
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 10RAT
The correct option for the statement “How do over the counter analgesics like aspirin work?” is option (c).
Explanation of Solution
The aspirin is used as antipyretic drug which is used to relieve the pain and lower the body temperature. In human body, a biochemical prostaglandin is synthesized which is responsible for the generation of pain signals. The over-the-counter analgesics such as aspirin used to hinder the formation of prostaglandin. In this way, analgesics like aspirin, and ibuprofen inhibit the formation of pain producing biochemical and help human body to relieve pain.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “How do over the counter analgesics like aspirin work?” is option (c).
