Aspirin vs Lovenox
 | Aspirin |  | Lovenox |  |
| Aspirin is used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain from conditions such as muscle aches, toothaches, common cold, and headaches. It may also be used to reduce pain and swelling in conditions such as arthritis. Aspirin is known as a salicylate and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking a certain natural substance in your body to reduce pain and swelling. Consult your doctor before treating a child younger than 12 years. Your doctor may direct you to take a low dose of aspirin to prevent blood clots. This effect reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. If you have recently had surgery on clogged arteries (such as bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy, coronary stent), your doctor may direct you to use aspirin in low doses as a "blood thinner" to prevent blood clots. | LOVENOX can help reduce the risk of developing DVT blood clots, which may lead to pulmonary embolism, in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, hip- or knee-replacement surgery, or in acutely ill medical patients with severely restricted mobility. | |||

| Add Aspirin review Works well taken with warm water enter the blood stream faster . Asprin is found naturally in willows. Try chewing on willow leaves,bark or twigs next time you are outdoors and get a tooth hurting you. It works. | Add Lovenox review I am having constant diahrrea. Started taking Lovenox twice a day after knee surgery to prevent clots. Only the first injection was difficult. (I just couldn't stab myself but now I've got my method down pat) Some hurt, some don't. Most result in long lasting deep purple brusies. About 30% give me a lump. I am OK with this medication and glad my use is short term. Needles were small and easy to use. Only side effect was the bruising on abdomen and stinging of medication after injection. | |||
