Symptom Guide
This guide will help you identify your specific condition and learn how Aspirin® can help you.
Cold
The common cold is probably the most frequently diagnosed health condition in the world. Colds are caused by viruses that are usually transmitted by nasal secretions and/or by contact with people suffering from the same virus. As the cold virus reaches upper airways, it generates a local reaction such as light headache, sneezing, runny nose, congestion, etc. Although these symptoms are rarely serious, they can be distracting and in some cases debilitating. Typically, however, after a few days symptoms start easing and the whole process lasts about a week.
Taking Aspirin Plus C at the first sign of cold symptoms can effectively relieve the symptoms, allowing you to resume your daily routine without further setbacks.
Symptoms: stuffy nose, sneezing, general fatigue, watery eyes, sore throat, chills, mild headache

Flu
Highly contagious, flu (influenza) viruses are present in secretions that are dispersed by coughing and sneezing. Flu viruses can be easily spread by direct contact from person to person or by a healthy person touching something contaminated with the influenza virus and then touching their mouth or nose. One of the defining characteristics of a flu infection is the sudden onset of symptoms, since the virus triggers an intense inflammatory and generalized body response-including fever, muscle pain, shivering, loss of appetite, fatigue and headache. The flu is serious, and can cause health complications if not treated. Fatigue is most common lasting symptom after having the flu.
Aspirin Complex-combining the pain-relieving power of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) with an effective nasal decongestan (pseudoephedrine) - this product can be a helpful tool to soothe flu symptoms from the very beginning. However, it is advisable to consult a medical doctor to confirm the condition, obtain proper medical care and rule out other illnesses. Furthermore, it is highly advisable to follow the doctor's indication of resting during and after the flu.
Symptoms: fever, extreme exhaustion, muscle pains, strong headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, decreased appetite, chills

Tension headache
Most headaches are tension-type headaches. Tension headaches are often caused by muscle stiffness in the shoulder, neck and jaw areas. Tension headaches are often related to stress, depression and anxiety, and may be triggered by overwork, lack of sleep, inadequate diet or consumption of alcoholic drinks. Even though a tension headache does not usually cause severe pain, it can significantly hamper everyday activities.
Both the classic Aspirin® and the energy-giving Cafiaspirina, as well as the fast-acting Aspirin Effect, can effectively relieve tension headaches. However, consult a medical doctor immediately if you develop a headache after a sudden jolt or hit, if you have a stiff neck, fever, feel confused, lose consciousness or have eye pain or earache. These conditions may require more extensive medical care.
Symptoms: persistent headache, bi-lateral headache, pressure headache, difficulties concentrating, muscle pain, muscle stiffness

Migraine
Migraine is the second most frequent type of headache, and is much more common in women. Migraines can be so painful that sufferers are forced to give up daily activities. The most characteristic symptom of a migraine is a severe throbbing pain in one or both sides of your head. Symptoms may also include nausea and light-and-noise sensitivity. Sometimes, migraines can be preceded by other symptoms or by the so-called "aura", a sensation of flickering lights in one's field of vision. Although migraines do not cause permanent damage, they are usually so painful that immediate relief is imperative.
Both the classic Aspirin® and the energy-giving Cafiaspirina, as well as the fast-acting Aspirin Effect have proven effective to relieve migraine pain. For some people, it may be necessary to take further measures to prevent migraine. Consult a medical doctor immediately if you develop a headache after a sudden jolt or hit, if you have a stiff neck, fever, feel confused, lose consciousness or have eye pain or earache. These conditions may require more extensive medical care.
Symptoms: throbbing headache, one-sided headache, light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, severe headache, difficulty concentrating, sensation of flickering lights, nausea, vomiting

Muscle Pain
The most common causes of muscle pain include: poor posture while sitting at the office, exerting greater effort than we are used to (such as lifting heavy objects or playing sports), repetitive movements (for instance, constant computer use) or the effects of stress. Sports-related injuries and trauma also trigger inflammatory responses that intensify muscle pain.
Both the classic Aspirin® and the energy-giving Cafiaspirina, as well as the fast-acting Aspirin Effect, can effectively relieve pain and under a doctor's care, muscle inflammation. In the case of muscle pain caused by trauma, however, you should always consult a medical doctor to determine if it is appropriate to take Aspirin® to ease pain and inflammation. In all situations, if pain is not relieved by taking Aspirin® or if you suspect a more severe condition, you should consult a doctor.
Symptoms: muscle pain, muscle stiffness, pain when moving, pain when straining, muscle weakness, muscle tingling, difficulty in moving, muscle cramps

Back Pain
At some point, nearly everyone experiences back pain that interferes with work, daily activities or recreation. The most frequent causes of back pain are overuse, strenuous movement or injury. Due to the natural wear and tear on connective tissues, the probability of suffering back pain also increases with age. When muscles contract or joints are hurt, particularly in the case of a rarely exercised spine or chronic improper posture, inflammation and pain are typically the result.
Both the classic Aspirin® and the energy-giving Cafiaspirina, as well as the fast-acting Aspirin Effect, are highly effective for relieving back pain and inflammation-related aches. However, if you feel severe back pain, or if it is due to a sudden injury, or does not ease within three days, you should consult a medical doctor.
Symptoms: muscle pain, joint pain, pain when moving, difficulty in moving, pain when straining, muscle cramps

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis, one of the most disabling diseases in people over age 40, is related to the wearing of cartilage that connects bone joints. Most frequently affected joints are those supporting body weight, such as the spine, hips, knees and fingers. Unlike other types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis there is no visible swelling, but pain may be severe and cause limited movement.
Both the classic Aspirin® and the energy-giving Cafiaspirina, or the fast-acting Aspirin Effect, relieve the pain and fight (under doctor's care) the underlying inflammation of arthritis. In any case, when osteoarthritis symptoms develop, it is advisable to consult a medical doctor.
Symptoms: joint pain, pain when moving, difficulty in moving, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, joint cracking, morning rigidity
