General Information
Bayer Extra Strength Asprin is an over-the-counter medication approved for the treatment of mild to moderate migraine pain. This treatment is available in caplet formulation.
Those who suffer from migraine attacks experience periodically recurring, intense pulsating pain that is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and a sensitivity to light or noise.

Mechanism of Action
Asprin contains the active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid, which acts in a pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic and anti-thrombotic manner.
