Aspirin is the first of the NSAIDs that was discovered, and is one of several salicylate drugs. Salicylates have been known to be effective since the 5th century, when Hippocrates first began to prescribe the willow bark rich in salicin to patient for the treatment of minor pain and fever. Today, aspirin is still prescribed for the relief of minor pain, fever and also has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also sometimes prescribed to prevent heart attacks because it provides a blood-thinning effect.
