About acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)
Aspirin® is much more than just a painkiller. Even after over a century, its active substance ASA still sets researchers’ pulses racing. Time and again, acetylsalicylic acid opens up new indications and treatment options, despite being the focus of around 3,500 studies each year.
This innovative medicine is truly multi-talented. Every day Aspirin® is counted on by millions of people for relief from fever, migraine, headache and muscle or joint pain. And yet ASA also has an established role to play in the prevention of cardiovascular disorders such as heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, the active substance is thought by experts to have a promising future in cancer therapy.
