Suppose that quality control at an aspirin manufacturing plant felldown on the job and left some aspirin tablets to be sold thatcontained salicylic acid, what might happen to persons who ingestedthese tablets as a result ? explain

Acetylsalicylic acid is an antiplatelet acid, thus causing people to be at risk of internal bleeding, coagulation disorders and in the event of injuries or cuts, possibility of heavy bleeding and hypovolemic shocks.

Explanation:

Acetylsalicylic acid is one of the components of aspirin.

Some patients take this medication daily for cardiac problems if they have alterations in blood coagulation such as hypercoagulability.

In the case that the patient is healthy and does not present these types of pathologies, if he / she consumes this drug, what is written above in the answer will happen, that is why when it comes to doing general dental or medical surgeries it is necessary question the patient if he used the drug so that there are no bleeding complications during surgery.

The lack of platelet aggregation would be the lack of union of the platelets to the endothelium, that is why the primary platelet plug of coagulation is never formed and neither is the stable fibrin plug that is the one that definitively inhibits bleeding or bleeding.

In case of consuming this drug in large concentrations, bruising and internal bleeding are very frequent and dangerous.
