Aspirin + Glycine

Aspirin + Glycine is a combination medication commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent blood clots. Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Glycine, an amino acid, is added to help reduce the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with aspirin, such as stomach irritation or ulcers. This combination offers effective pain relief with improved stomach tolerance, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term use under medical supervision.

Uses of Aspirin + Glycine

• Pain relief from headaches, muscle aches, and joint pain
• Reduction of fever and inflammation
• Prevention of heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients
• Used in mild to moderate arthritis treatment
• Helps protect the stomach lining from aspirin-related irritation

How Aspirin + Glycine Works

Aspirin works by inhibiting enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) involved in the production of prostaglandins, which cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Glycine acts as a buffering agent to protect the stomach lining from the acidic effects of aspirin, making the combination gentler on the digestive system.
