What additional benefit does aspirin provide other than decreasing inflammation?

  1. Antiviral

  2. Antidepressant

  3. Antiplatelet with CV benefit

  4. Antihistamine

The correct answer is: Antiplatelet with CV benefit

Aspirin is a widely used medication known for its ability to decrease inflammation, but it also has an additional benefit as an antiplatelet agent with cardiovascular benefits. This means it helps prevent the formation of blood clots, which can reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. While options A, B, and D may have their own beneficial effects, they do not provide the specific added benefit of lowering the risk of blood clots. Therefore, they are not the best answer to the question.
