Fasprin® is low-dose aspirin. What if I have a headache or other aches and pains?
Fasprin® can be taken to relieve headaches. Aspirin is best for mild to moderate pain relief. Most headaches are caused by muscle contractions in the neck and scalp which stimulate the production of arachidonic acid. Aspirin prevents arachidonic acid from producing prostaglandins that cause pain. The sooner one takes aspirin the less pain is produced. One can take 1 to 4 tablets and repeat hourly, not to exceed 20 tablets during a 24-hour period.
