Overview

Aspi-Cor is a drug that is usually prescription for patients suffering from pain or inflammatory problems. Depending on the region or a certain manufacturer, the particular formulation and usage may differ. 

 

The Aspi-Cor product that many manufacturers produce is usually a combination product that consists of aspirin (an anti-inflammatory drug) together with codeine (a narcotic pain drug). These way such pain killers help to cope with moderate aches and swelling. Each component used targets a separate pain pathway in the human body.

 

Aspi-Cor is indicated for the above conditions, which may include musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, post-operative pain or trauma-related pain. However, since it has codeine in it, it is crucial that patients take care to adhere to the dosage schedule in order to prevent dependence, adverse effects or abuse.
