- 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
