What is the difference between Fasprin® and Tylenol, Excedrin, Anacin, Motrin, Aleve, and similar over-the-counter pain relievers?
All of the agents are NSAIDs, but only aspirin offers the most effective blood thinning properties that provide protection from strokes and heart attacks. Many of these NSAIDs are not recommended for use by persons at risk of a heart attack or stroke. The American Heart Association and American Medical Association rate aspirin as the best choice for those at risk of heart attack or stroke.
