This medication is used for temporary relief of minor aches, pains, headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, and fever. It may also be used for anti-inflammatory purposes and as directed by a healthcare provider for certain cardiovascular conditions.
Aspirin works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. The calcium carbonate component acts as an antacid buffer, neutralizing stomach acid to help protect the stomach lining from aspirin's potential irritant effects.
