Aspirin is an acetyl derivative of salicylic acid that is a white, crystalline, weakly acidic substance, with melting point 137°C. It is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid, by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The main ingredient in Aspirin is salicylic acid. This is found in willow tree bark. Aspirin is also one of the oldest drugs in the world; with records showing it's used more than 2,000 years ago. Yet the effects of this drug are still to be fully realized. Aspirin is useful in the relief of headache and muscle and joint aches. Aspirin is also effective in reducing fever, inflammation, and swelling and thus has been used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, and mild infection. Large doses cause acid-base imbalance and respiratory disturbances and can be fatal, especially in children. Acetaminophen (known by trade name Tylenol), which does not cause gastric irritation but does lower fever and relieve pain, is often substituted for Aspirin. It is particularly suited for the treatment of light to moderate states of pain or inflammation and fever. When dealing with infectious diseases of bacterial or viral origin, acetylsalicylic acid is able to lower the body's temperature.
