'ASPIRIN SUPER-MAGNIFIED'

GENRE:MEDICINE's first post is about ASPIRIN or  DISPRIN as most of the people know aspirin by its brand or market name which is 'disprin' a common pain relieving and an anticoagulant drug with easy availability at all drug stores in PAKISTAN.....ASPIRIN (DISPRIN) is an analgesic or pain relieving,anti-inflammatory,antipyretic and an anticoagulant drug.....finding its application as a pain reliever,an anticoagulant and also finds its administration in patients with myocardial infarction and in those who are the victims of stroke......the force that made me write about it ;is actually one of its adverse effects and it is the REYE'S SYNDROME.....which is often a fatal,fulminating hepatitis with cerebral edema.......and its cause is unknown ..why it happens with aspirin intake in viral diseases especially in fever and the children become the victim of it....so children must not be given aspirin especially suffering from fever under the age of 12......the drugs like ACETAMINOPHEN or PARACETAMOL must be preferred.....


  I am writing about aspirin(DISPRIN) in a rhyming fashion starting from its mainline actions....its dosage....and finally its adverse effects...... in an easier way with some urdu-english fusion.....so that everyone can understand.....as its  for PAKISTANIS  only....and also I don't disown URDU...those who can't understand can google the translation of it.....

I know writing about medicine in an interesting,lively and in a rhyming fashion is like an attempt to make a clear solution of pebbles in water....but I hope it would be helpful for the non-medical individuals and hope they don't find it something boring......so here we go

I lower down body's temperature against fever to defeat
by impeding prostaglandins E2's synthesis and release
