C. PULMONARY
1. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
• Mechanism of action is unclear, but the most favored postulated mechanism proposes a direct toxic effect of salicylates on pulmonary endothelium producing an extravasation of fluids.
D. HEMATOLOGIC
Therapeutic Use: inhibits prothrombin synthesis and platelet aggregation.
2. Overdose:
• Decreased prothrombin formation
• Decreased factor VII production
• Increased capillary fragility
• Decreased platelet adhesiveness
E. GASTROINTESTINAL
Nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain usually occur early following an acute ingestion
