Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a medication used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation.[1] For pain or fever, effects typically begin within 30 minutes. Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and works similar to other NSAIDs but also suppresses the normal functioning of platelets.
