Do You know how aspirin works?

The age old remedy for just about anything. But this is 2008, and we hear on TV (and everywhere else for that matter) that it's good for the heart, headaches and blood thinning.

So what gives? You will know tomorrow, for each mechanism of action for each indication.

For now, a quick review:

Have you ever read your medication bottle or your prescription and wondered what language that was (or hieroglyphics) ? I am constantly reminded in meetings about the drug i'm working on--e.g., schedule of drug administration and route of administration.

BID= twice a day
OD= right eye
OL= left eye
PO= by mouth
qd= every day
qod= every other day
