What Are Aspirin Tablets Used For?
Aspirin tablets are commonly used to help relieve minor aches and pains or suppress fever. Aspirin can help reduce inflammation, which may lead to reduced pain. Aspirin medicine products might be used to treat muscle aches, such as those that come from working out, or minor arthritis symptoms.
Aspirin is also a common go-to for those dealing with headaches. Some people find that formulations with aspirin and caffeine, such as Goody's headache powder, are helpful when dealing with headaches.
Health care providers might also recommend low daily doses of aspirin to support heart health, as aspirin may reduce the risk of clotting that may lead to heart attacks or strokes. However, this use is specific to certain situations and is typically relevant when someone is under a cardiologist's or other doctor's care.
Aspirin Pills vs. Other Pain Medications
Aspirin works by reducing inflammation and thinning the blood, which sets it apart from other OTC pain relievers like acetaminophen, which doesn’t reduce inflammation, or ibuprofen, which doesn’t offer cardiovascular benefits.
While aspirin can be effective for pain relief, it may cause more stomach irritation in some people than acetaminophen-based products like Tylenol. Consider your overall health needs, your doctor's recommendations and your tolerance of various ingredients when choosing a day-to-day pain reliever product like aspirin tablets.
