In a study of healthy volunteers, chewed aspirin has indicated a faster (5 min) effect as opposed to regular swallowed aspirin (12 minutes). Which of the following mechanisms explains the above effect? Chewing allows for aspiring to act faster as a reversible COX-1 inhibitor. Chewing allows for faster dissolution time to reach its peak effect quicker. Chewing allows for aspiring to act faster as a reversible inhibitor for thromboxane A2.
