Advantages: Work on lots of pains

Disadvantages: Don't work on all my pains

When it comes to aches and pains I really do suffer with them on and off. This is why I have boxes and tubs and tubes all over the place of pain killers. For my serious problems like my eating disorder and ongoing spine problem I'm diagnosed with medication from the Dr's but in conjunction with that I am allowed to take pain killers along with these things and of course I do suffer usual aches and pains as well such as migraines, neck ache, general back pain and period pains etc. I have worked my way through different drugs and not found many to be very beneficial even extra strong pain killers which has led me up the path to trying out aspirin pills lately.

The Packaging....

White and yellow square box with silver, white and black writing and on the front I'm told it is Sainsbury's Dispersible Aspirin 300mg Tablets and that they are an effective pain reliever and that the box contains 16 tablets and finally there is a picture of two fizzing tablets on there. On the back of the box I'm told that what they can be used to treat and given dosage instructions, warnings are given as is storage information, ingredients are listed, contact details for Sainsbury's are given and finally there is a bar-code on there. Nice enough informative packaging....this is. Inside the box there are two trays of 8 small tablets and on the back they are foil sealed in and I'm told clearly what they are.

Adults, the elderly and children over 16 years:

1-3 tablets to be dispersed in water every 4 hours, or as directed by your doctor. Not more than 4 doses in 24 hours. A lower dose is recommended for the elderly.

Do not give to children aged under 16years, unless on the advice of a doctor. If symptoms persist for more than 3 days consult you doctor.

Taking the....

Well all you do is decide how many pills you want to take first off. Personally I take 3 to try and do the job properly than mess about with doses! I basically stick 3 of the small white none fragrant pills into a cup of water and they fizzle and fizz away and then that noise stops alot when dispersed and then I give the liquid a quick stir and knock it back in a gulp as quick as possible to get it over and done with lol.

I won't lie and say it's nice as it isn't but it isn't vile either just a bit salty really but the taste fades immediately really anyway.

Do They Work?....

Depends on the pain you have of course and we're all different! For me I find them to work quicker than many other pain killers I have tried in the past because I don't have to wait for them to dissolve in my stomach so they can get to work straight away! I find them great for sore throats and cold/flu problems and great on general aches and pains and amazing on my terrible period pains, reliving cramps almost immediately. They don't really touch migraines though, but again they are fine for headaches and general ear and neck pain type of thing.

At 19p a packet (only in Sainsbury's) I really think these are worth a try to see how you personally get on with them and you've not alot to lose really. They are easy to use and don't taste putrid and at this price in my opinion..are worth a go!

Summary: Worth the money
