Question 1 of 5
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) produces all of the following actions EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Aspirin provides analgesic/antipyretic (choice A), anti-inflammatory/anti-rheumatic (choice B), and anti-platelet effects (choice D) via COX inhibition. Uricosuric action (choice C) occurs at high doses (>4g/day), not small doses, where it retains uric acid, potentially worsening gout. This exception clarifies dose-dependent effects, critical for therapeutic precision.
