Answer and Explanation:

Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug made from the active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid.  It works by inhibiting an enzyme called COX (cycloxygenase), which converts the arachidonic acid molecule into prostaglandins, mediators present in inflammatory processes. Therefore, by inhibiting the action of COX, aspirin helps in the treatment of inflammatory processes.  Its proved that acetylsalicylic acid also prevents platelets from clustering and clogging blood vessels, so it is used to prevent infarction, peripheral vascular disease or stroke.

People who have had an episode of cardiovascular problems, such as stroke or heart attack, are more likely to recur. Therefore, aspirin 81mg can be used for prevention.

Drug cravings become heightened ___________
olga nikolaevna [1]
The answer is letter C.

Drug craving become heightened whenever the user is exposed to any situation that triggers a memory of the drug use. Often times, people who undergo drug rehabilitation are taken away from their most common environment where drug abuse is prominent. This is the reason why many drug users who leave rehabilitation centers have the tendency to return to their old ways. Their exposure to the outside world triggers drug cravings and eventually the cycle keeps repeating itself.
