Acetylsalicylic acid resistance: relevance of correct dosage form

Abstract

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a well-known anti-thrombotic agent which has been used in medical practice for more than 100 years. The effectiveness of low-dose ASA (75-150 mg/day) in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease is proved by numerous studies [1, 2]. At the same time, research revealed that aspirin therapy prevents only 25% of adverse cardiovascular events [3-5].
