Why does my aspirin box say that headaches might be a side-effect when it's meant to fix them

I like the warning on sleeping pills that says to not drive or operate machinery because they may cause drowsiness. Hmm, and to think I always take a sleeping pill before going to work as a trapeze artist.

Seems like u've been told!

Because if you take them while riding a motorcycle you will crash into a wall and then your head will hurt. Like mine does reading your question in the Motorcycle section. Now go play outside.

The side effects of aspirin DO NOT include headaches.

Aspirin may cause other side effects:

nausea
vomiting
stomach pain
heartburn

Some side effects can be serious. If u experience any of the following symptoms, call ur doctor immediately:

hives
rash
swelling of the eyes, face, lips, tongue, or throat
wheezing or difficulty breathing
hoarseness
fast heartbeat
fast breathing
cold, clammy skin
ringing in the ears
loss of hearing
bloody vomit
vomiting material that looks like coffee grounds
bright red blood in stools
black or tarry stools

BTW u do not fix headaches, u only reduce the severity of the symptom. Personally, I prefer a good stiff drink over aspirin any day.

Stop chasing parked cars you nimrod & get a life.

If you think thats dumb, try responding to questions put in the motorcycle area that clearly belong in health.

Your aspirin box does not say that, you need to read it again. Aspirin can dull headaches, and thins blood, which helps reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks. You need to come alive and be aware.

If you think that is stupid, try taking aspirin while riding a motorcycle at 100 mph....
