Other conditions:   none

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.

Comments:   The treatment would start as soon as pain was noticed. 300 milligrams of aspirin was taken for every headache episode.
