A member asked:

Why can the effects of a single dose of aspirin drug last 7-10 days?

Dr. Clarence Grim answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Aspirin 7 days: It binds to a receptor on platelets and permanently makes the not work or get sticky. Thus these must die and be replaced by new ones. Takes about 7-10 days. Good wikipedia discussion.
