Aspirin – the original wonder drug – reduces pain by reducing inflammation
It is thought acetaminophen may block cyclooxygenase enzymes at the source of the enzyme's production (in the brain), thus blocking transmission of pain nerve impulses
Caffeine is included because it enhances the efficacy of both aspirin and acetaminophen
Acetaminophen and aspirin are also powerful antipyretics
Each packet contains260 milligrams of acetaminophen; a whopping 520 milligrams of aspirin; and 32.5 milligrams of caffeine
There are 50 packets in a box, so there's more than enough to share
