Extra information
Aspirin 500 mg
Aspirin is one of the best-known brands of painkillers and Bayer's oldest drug. Aspirin has an analgesic, fever-reducing anti-inflammatory effect. Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid and belongs to the painkiller group NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). NSAIDs have a more powerful analgesic effect than, for example, paracetamol. For non-bacterial infections, an NSAID such as acetylsalicylic acid is particularly suitable because of its anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing effect. Aspirin can be used for, for example, back pain, joint pain, neck or shoulder pain and toothache, headache, muscle pain and complaints due to flu and/or fever or a cold.
