ASPIRIN
ASPIRIN is reliable, and highly effective for treating pain and fever
generated by:
Pain relief is what original ASPIRIN is best known for, but it is often
recommended for other uses. In fact, ASPIRIN continues to be the subject
of ongoing research to determine its potential as a treatment for a
wide range of medical conditions. To learn more, speak to your doctor
about the benefits of an ASPIRIN routine. And, if you’re already
on ASPIRIN for doctor-supervised preventative therapy, you should know
that doctors say that individuals can also take ASPIRIN for pain.*‡
How Does ASPIRIN Work?
The active ingredient in ASPIRIN is acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). It
works by decreasing the production of a group of pain-enhancing chemicals
(prostaglandins) found in the body.
Unlike other pain relievers containing acetaminophen, the active ingredient
in ASPIRIN (ASA) actually goes to the site of the pain to reduce the
pain of inflammation. In fact, ASPIRIN is a NSAID ( a non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug), so if you suffer from the pain of inflammation
speak to your doctor about using ASPIRIN.
ASPIRIN is also a platelet inhibitor which can provide additional
benefits to some users. The first step in our body’s blood-clotting
mechanism is for particles in the blood, called platelets, to stick
together and
form a clot. This process is triggered by certain chemical messengers.
ASPIRIN reduces the amount of these messengers, thus lessening the
ability
of the platelets to clump together, so that clots cannot form as easily.
Whether you’re looking for a product for preventative therapy
or a pain reliever that can help you get on with your day, ASPIRIN has
a product that is right for you.
We all experience pain, but there’s a difference between a mild
headache and a backache and even the ache of arthritis. You wouldn’t
take a prescription-strength pain reliever for a mild headache, so why
take the same product for mild and tough pain?
Today’s ASPIRIN. The right product for your pain.
