            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Aspirin: stronger inhibitor of both prostaglandin synthesis and platelet aggregation than other salicylic acid derivatives; acetyl group is responsible for inactivation of cyclooxygenase via acetylation; hydrolyzed rapidly in plasma, and elimination follows zero order pharmacokinetics

            Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet cyclooxygenase; this leads to inhibition of conversion of arachidonic acid to PGI2 (potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet activation) and thromboxane A2 (potent vasoconstrictor and platelet aggregate)

            Chlorpheniramine: blocks muscle responses in histamine and antagonizes constrictor effects of histamine on respiratory smooth muscle

            Dextromethorphan: cough suppressant that acts centrally on cough center in medulla
