The Bottom Line: Bayer promises fast, safe pain relief. And that is exactly what you get.
I have been using Bayer Aspirin for about 3 1/2 years now. When I was growing up, Tylenol was my mother's choice, but I discovered this product a few years ago and definitely like it a lot.
Bayer Aspirin is used for fast, safe, temporary relief of headache pain, muscle aches and pain, pain and fever of colds, and minor aches and pains of arthritis. This is very important to me because I have numerous aches a pains associated with my back, that can often times cause me excruciating pains. Bayer helps to take some of the pain away, to at least make it bearable, and that is all I ask for at this point.
~ Facts ~
Aspirin revolves around the simple chemical compound acetylsalicyclic (ASA), synthesized by the Bayer Corporation Chemist Felix Hoffman on August 10, 1897. This product has been around a long time, and is a proven brand you can trust.
What does ASA do? ASA reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting several different chemical processes occurring within the body. By inhibiting the natural physiological processes, pain and inflammation are reduced. This occurs when Aspirin inhibits the production of prostaglandins, a chemical in the body. ASA also helps prevent the aggregation of platelets, which are blood clots. This is definitely a plus, because by reducing the tendency for the platelets to clot and allowing the blood to flow more freely, ASA can reduce the risk of recurrent heart attack and stroke.
~ Directions ~

~ Warnings ~
Bayer has a very important warning on the bottle that everyone should pay attention. They state children and teenagers should not use this medicine for chicken pox or flu symptoms before a doctor is consulted about Reye Syndrome. Reye Syndrome seems to be a rare illness associated with the use of aspirin. The child usually develops Reye Syndrome while recovering from upper respiratory illness and the chicken pox. While there is no proven cause for Reye Syndrome, studies show that it is related to viral illness's and the use of aspirin.
It is recommended to not take Bayer is you are allergic to aspirin or if you have asthma. Do not take this product if you are taking a prescription for anticoagulation (which is thinning of the blood), diabetes, or arthritis. And for all you pregnant ladies, do not use Aspirin in the last three months of pregnancy. Aspirin can cause complications upon delivery of a baby.
~*~ My Thoughts ~*~
Bayer is the only leading brand of analgesic proven to relieve tough pain and help save your life, when taken as directed by a doctor during a suspected heart attack. Aspirin, any kind, can decrease your chance of dying during a heart attack up to 23%.
I use Bayer Aspirin on many kinds of pain, from headaches to muscle aches. I even use this product for minor arthritis pain, which my mom has so kindly passed down to all of us kids. It's torture to have arthritis in my hands, but Bayer can help relieve the minor symptoms, allowing me to go about my day with less discomfort.
What is the number one killer of women in the United States? Despite the popular belief, it's not breast cancer. The answer is cardiovascular disease, killing nearly 500,000 women each year. Aspirin can help fight certain cardiovascular events in women, that is why taking Bayer is good for you!
It just makes me feel a lot safer to be taking Bayer. And it makes me feel a whole lot better when I can move freely about my day because Bayer minimize any aches and pains. This product also has no side effects for me, which is another plus. I'm often on the run and can wear my body down pretty quickly. It makes me feel better knowing that there is something I can take at the end of a long day to relieve my pain.
Being a ex-rower, I was continually getting pains in the muscles of my arms, back, and legs. Taking Bayer after a hard morning on the water, or a hard day in the gym, gives me relief throughout the rest of my day. Im only disappointed that it doesnt work throughout the next day also. Oh well...thats why the bottle comes with 50 tablets!
