How Lospirin Works
When taken orally, Lospirin tablets are rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. Acetylsalicylic acid works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking the action of prostaglandins, aspirin helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever.
