Also known as acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin is an analgesic painkiller known to relieve aches and pains. It helps to reduce fever and is commonly used as an anti-inflammatory medication.
It works as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), but works in a different fashion by affecting different enzyme variants than most other NSAIDs.
