How does aspirin work?
Aspirin reduces the production of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which are produced in tissues throughout the body. Prostaglandins have many functions. They are part of the chemical messenger systems involved in feeling pain, fever, the redness and swelling that can accompany injuries, and even in contracting certain muscles, for example, the uterus. Since aspirin lowers the amount of prostaglandins, it can help alleviate conditions like pain, fever and the discomfort of menstrual cramps.
Aspirin also reduces production of substances involved in the early stages of our body's blood clotting mechanism. This is why doctors may prescribe aspirin, as part of a regimen including diet and exercise, for appropriate individuals with cardiovascular disease.
Are other OTC (over the counter) pain relievers more effective than aspirin?
No other OTC analgesic has been proven to be more effective than aspirin. In fact, a dosage of two Extra-Strength Bayer Aspirin have been proven to be as effective on tough pain as the most prescribed dosage of Tylenol with Codeine #3 in headache and dental pain studies. And only aspirin provides both highly effective for pain relief and additional benefits when taken under the direction of a doctor - the ability to reduce the inflammation and swelling of arthritis, preventing a second heart attack or stroke, and even saving lives when taken during a suspected heart attack. It is a fact that aspirin is a great choice for active people, whether you've got sore knees from gardening or a throbbing elbow from a tough game of tennis.

The facts about "safety coating" or "enteric coating" aspirin--
Enteric coating is a delayed-release safety coating that provides added stomach protection. It is designed to allow the aspirin tablet or caplet to pass through the stomach to the small intestine (duodenum) before dissolving.
This delayed release coating means that it will take 2-5 hours for the aspirin to be absorbed. For this reason, products with enteric coating are not recommended for quick pain relief; enteric coated aspirin is most often used by patients who are taking aspirin on a daily basis under their doctor's supervision or recommendation.
