Overall rating: | | |
Effectiveness: | | Moderately Effective |

Other conditions: | | none |
Other drugs taken: | | none | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | The treatment benefits from taking 300 milligrams of Bayer aspirin for headache pain were decreased pain. The positive effects for diminishing the pain were noticed in about half an hour to a full hour or so. The headache pain was nearly and sometimes even completely relieved with the Bayer. But, after a few hours or so, the pain would come back and I would have to take more of the drug. |
Side effects: | | No side effects were noticed. |
Comments: | | The treatment would start as soon as pain was noticed. 300 milligrams of aspirin was taken for every headache episode. |
