Aspirin® +C Forte effervescent tablets for the first signs of a cold

What is Aspirin® + C Forte intended for?

Aspirin® + C Forte is used especially for initial cold symptoms such as headache, sore throat, body aches, and fever.

Acetylsalicylic acid has pain-relieving, fever-reducing, and anti-inflammatory effects. The medication additionally contains vitamin C.

How does Aspirin® + C Forte work?

One effervescent tablet contains 800 mg of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and 480 mg of vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

Acetylsalicylic acid belongs to the class of non-opioid analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). ASA inhibits the formation of certain messenger substances, known as prostaglandins, which are involved in, among other things, the development of pain, inflammation, and fever.

As a result, acetylsalicylic acid has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing effects.

Vitamin C possesses antioxidant properties and contributes, among other things, to protecting cells from oxidative stress.

The effervescent tablet is dissolved completely in water before ingestion. This ensures the active ingredient is already dissolved and can be absorbed rapidly. The included buffer substances additionally improve the solubility of the active ingredient.
