Aspirin® Complex Granules Sticks for colds with runny nose and fever

Product Details & Mandatory Information

Aspirin® Complex Granules are a combination medication for the treatment of cold symptoms when a congested nose or sinuses occur together with pain and/or fever.

The combination of active ingredients acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and pseudoephedrine provides pain relief, lowers fever, reduces inflammation, and relieves nasal congestion.

The granule sticks can be taken directly without having to be dissolved in water first, making them particularly suitable for when you are on the go.

What are Aspirin® Complex Granules intended for?

Aspirin® Complex Granules are used for several cold symptoms occurring simultaneously. These include, in particular, a congested nose and sinuses, as well as cold-related headaches, sore throats, body aches, and fever.

The decongestant effect on the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses makes breathing through the nose easier.

How do Aspirin® Complex Granules work?

Each granule stick contains 500 mg of acetylsalicylic acid and 30 mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride.

Acetylsalicylic acid belongs to the non-opioid analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). ASA inhibits the formation of certain messenger substances called prostaglandins, which are involved in the development of pain, inflammation, and fever. As a result, acetylsalicylic acid has an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing effect.

Pseudoephedrine has a vasoconstrictive effect, thereby decongesting the nasal mucosa. Because the active ingredient is taken orally, it also works in the area of the sinuses.

Direct intake for on the go

The granules are placed directly into the mouth and do not need to be dissolved in water first. This makes the sticks a practical alternative to tablets and allows them to be taken easily while on the move.

The granule sticks are sugar-free.
