What Ingredients Are in Aspirin?
Aspirin is a widely used medication that contains both an active ingredient and one or more inactive ingredients. While the active ingredient is responsible for the intended effect, inactive ingredients support manufacturing, stability, and delivery.
Ingredient lists can vary between products, even when the active ingredient is the same.
Active vs. Inactive Ingredients
- Active ingredient: Provides the intended effect
- Inactive ingredients: Help form the pill, control dissolution, and improve consistency
Inactive ingredients do not treat symptoms and may differ by formulation.
Why Aspirin Ingredient Lists Can Differ
Ingredient information may vary based on:
- Dosage form (tablet, coated tablet, chewable, powder)
- Manufacturer
- Production changes over time
For this reason, ingredient details are usually found in official drug labeling sources, not always on retail packaging.
Common Brand Names That Contain Aspirin
Aspirin is sold under many brand names, including well-known over-the-counter products.
