HealthcheckUSA is excited to exclusively offer a revolutionary new test which helps to determine the effect of Aspirin.
The AspirinWorks® Test Kit is an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) to determine levels of 11-Dehydro Thromboxane B2 (11dhTxB2) in human urine, which aids in the qualitative detection of aspirin effect in apparently healthy individuals post ingestion.
Aspirin has been sold, without prescription, for almost 100 years. Even though we take it for granted, it is a very powerful drug. It is frequently called a “wonder drug” because it is so powerful and it impacts so many different systems in our bodies.
Like other drugs, aspirin does not have the same effect on everyone. A dose of aspirin that protects one person from a heart attack by making platelets less sticky may cause bleeding in another individual.
Doctors are beginning to recognize this variation in individuals and the importance of testing for aspirin effect. Doctors regulate your dose of blood pressure or cholesterol medication by measuring your blood pressure or your cholesterol level. Now, with AspirinWorks®, you can be sure your aspirin is working as well by measuring its effect on its target, thromboxane.
When you take aspirin for aches, pain or fever, you know that it is working because you feel better. If you’re taking an aspirin to reduce thromboxane levels, the only way to know it is working is by testing its effect physiologically.
The AspirinWorks® test determines your aspirin’s effect by measuring the amount of a specific chemical, 11-dehydro thromboxane B2, in your urine. Aspirin’s protective effect is directly related to how well it limits the amount of thromboxane produced in your body. A low level of 11-dehydro thromboxane B2 indicates that aspirin is working to reduce thromboxane production. A high level means aspirin is not eliciting an effect.
Why is it important to know how you respond? Studies indicate that individuals with high levels of thromboxane are at increased risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death as compared to individuals with low levels. Your doctor can then determine whether to modify your aspirin therapy and/or prescribe additional therapies or lifestyle changes.
