Antiplatelet drugs alter the platelet activation at the site of vascular damage crucial to the development of arterial thrombosis. Aspirin and Triflusal irreversibly inhibits the enzyme COX, resulting in reduced platelet production of TXA 2 (thromboxane – powerful vasoconstrictor that lowers cyclic AMP and initiates the platelet release ...
