Why is the antiplatelet effect of aspirin longer lasting than that of other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)?
A. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits the production of TXA2, whereas NSAIDs cause reversible inhibition of this substance.
B. Aspirin can be taken up to 6 times per day, and most NSAIDs can only be taken twice per day.
C. Other NSAIDs have more effects on other tissues, but aspirin targets platelets specifically.
D. Other NSAIDs are more rapidly metabolized and eliminated than is aspirin.
