Name-brand aspirin, nothing added by Trevor Burnham (Ann Arbor, MI)

5 Stars
June 07, 2009
This is aspirin from the company that's been making it for about a century now. Aspirin is a wonderful product; I take it frequently to alleviate back-aches and headaches. There is no other pharmaceutical product that I would take so casually; aspirin has a strong record of being harmless (even potentially beneficial) to adults in the recommended doses. The only question is, should you buy generic or name-brand? It's a difficult question to answer. Bayer-brand aspirin costs less than a dime per two-pill dose; you can get it for even less with Amazon's Subscribe & Save. But generic equivalents (such as Rite Aid aspirin) are even cheaper. Either way, I expect that you'll be happy with the mild pain relief that aspirin provides.

Bayer is better by D. B. James (USA)

I know that generic aspirin is supposed to be just the same as the original Bayer, but for me Bayer is still better. I don't know science, but I know from many years of experience using both generic and Bayer aspirin that Bayer brings me more relief, faster, for arthritis pain. I have spoken with a couple of other arthritis sufferers who feel the same, by the way.

An Expensive Form of Aspirin by James Koenig (Minnesota)

Bayer is a name-brand aspirin. Any brand-name drug will cost at least double of that of the equivalent generic aspirin. I give this a one-star rating not because it is a poor product, rather, because it is so expensive. The dosage is 325 mg, taken two at a time, is the normal dose. Aspirin is a wonder-drug, the very first analgesic/anti-inflammatory medication to hit the market over 100 years ago. It is for mild to moderate pain and treats many different conditions such as arthritis, bone inflammation, joint pain, and even reduces fever. Aspirin causes blood platelets to not adhere to each other, thus it "thins" the blood and prevents blood clots from forming. Aspirin is thus used in emergency treatment of heart attacks and strokes. Some folks take a "baby" aspirin (81-160 mgs) each day to prevent blood clots from forming. Aspirin is actually acetyl-salicylic acid. Manufacturers alter the structure of aspirin slightly to grant it different properties in terms of its digestion, to make digestion easier. Some buffer it with antacids while others coat the tablet with a coating that prevents its digestion in the stomach (like Ecotrin). Regular aspirin, without any buffering or coatings is tolerated by most people, but some cannot take it without severe stomach upset. For these folks, the buffered form is a god-send. Unfortunately, Aspirin fell out of favor in the 60's and 70's when Reye's Syndrome developed in some children (under the age of 16) who took aspirin while they had the flu and/or chickenpox. About 30% of the children affected died and many more had permanent brain damage. Because of Reye's Syndrome, alternate analgesics were placed on the market, the premier being Tylenol. There is no reason to fear using aspirin if you are an adult, as Reye's Syndrome only occurred in children under 16 years of age. The usual dose of aspirin is 350 mg, with the "extra-strength form at 500 mg. Most adults will easily tolerate a dose of 650 mg (2 tablets) every 4 hours with a maximum daily dose of 5,200 mg. (Some with rheumatoid arthritis take up to 7200 mg/day with a doctor's supervision). There is no additional benefit to taking more than 1,000 mg every 4 hours. Increasing the dose beyond this point will only increase the toxicity of aspirin. Aspirin should be avoided in people taking blood-thinning medications, those with stomach ulcers, and used with caution in insulin-dependent diabetics. Allergies can develop to aspirin as well. Never mix aspirin with any of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, such as Ibuprofen, as there is no pain benefit and the gastric upset chance is greatly increased. Don't mix aspirin with alcohol either, as it is hard on the stomach. Used properly, aspirin is a terrific medication. I prefer to buy my aspirin in a generic form. One pays more for aspirin if it is produced by a name-brand manufacturer. However, the big-manufacturers also package aspirin in some of the buffered forms that some people tolerate better.

A good value. Really helps with the aches and pains. Other pain relievers upset my stomach. I like good old aspirin.
