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.

ASPIRIN is classified as a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Unlike pain relievers containing acetaminophen which reduce the perception of pain, the active ingredient in ASPIRIN actually has two sites of action: central to the nervous system and local at the site of pain. It reduces the production of pain amplifiers in the central nervous system and at the site of inflammation to effectively extinguish pain.

When you're looking for a pain reliever that helps you get back to doing the things you have to do, ASPIRIN has a product that is right for you.
