Acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known under the brand name "York", is one of the most famous and widely used medicines. The drug belongs to the group of anti-inflammatory drugs, is a derivative of salicylic acid and has many beneficial properties.
"York" is manufactured in the United States of America by International Trade Association of America Inc. and Geminai Pharmaceuticals. It is available in the form of tablets with a dosage of 325 mg of the active substance - acetylsalicylic acid.
The drug is widely used in medical practice to treat various diseases. It is effective for rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, infectious-allergic myocarditis and fever accompanying infectious-inflammatory processes. In addition, "York" is successfully used to relieve pain of various etiologies, including headaches, migraines, toothaches, neuralgia, myalgia, arthralgia and algodismenorrhea.

Despite its effectiveness, York has some contraindications and side effects.
