We’ve been conned big time by the demonizing of aspirin. Many health benefits. Aspirin is the only painkiller I use. The side effects of ibuprofen,Tylenol, etc are much much worse but there is no $$$$ in aspirin. Look in the pharmacy—how many entire shelves are devoted to the above mentioned and look for the few spaces at the bottom for aspirin. I take a 325 mg in the morning and one at bed. No problems at all. Of course there are some contraindications such as bleeding diseases but it’s still very safe. I just read ibuprofen and such is a factor in causing cardiovascular disease. Tylenol is even more dangerous.
I found it interesting that - after I had heard that aspirin was recommended during a bout with the C-19 - aspirin was being un-recommended as a daily med for a huge chunk of the population (can't remember if it was due to being a certain age or having certain health issues)
It helps many metabolic problems and has studies on cancer. Guess what? It shows good effects. Lots of studies. Aspirin helps me sleep. There is no money attached so the bad mouthing continues.
Yes. The 81 mg my husband takes for heart. Not sure the tiny orange ones are around anymore. I sure wouldn’t give babies ibuprofen. Or any of those, actually.

Interesting about aspiring helping with sleep. Someone just told me they take Tylenol if they wake in the night and can't get back to sleep!
Can you even FIND a "baby aspirin" these days?
Yes. The 81 mg my husband takes for heart. Not sure the tiny orange ones are around anymore. I sure wouldn’t give babies ibuprofen. Or any of those, actually.
I enjoyed chewing those as a child... "Candy"!!
The kitchen cabinet was easy to climb and those pink rubber caps didn't keep me from getting into them.
How did I survive my childhood??? 🤣🤣
True. I so remember those bottles. We lived on a farm. Yikes. What we got up to there. Angels were on double duty.
My mom got Mr. Yuck stickers to keep us away. I was very sincere, so it worked.
