Although the scientific or chemical name of "Aspirin" (a trade name) is often sited as acetyl salicylate or acetylsalicylic acid (abbreviated to ASA) it may also be called 2-acetyloxybenzoic acid or O-acetylsalicylic acid. These are all interpretations in various nomenclature systems of the chemical formula C9H8O4

Is there a difference between a brand name and generic drug?

Absolutely not. Unlike brand-name foods and generic versions (say, Coca-Cola and "Walmart Cola"), a brand-name and generic drug consist of the identical active ingredient with the same molecular structure. The generic drug has been tested to have the same absorbance as the brand-name compound and js approved by the FDA. The generic drug is just a fraction of the cost of the brand-name. Why would anyone buy a brand-name drug in the first place? Whenever a new drug is developed, the company that first releases it hold the patent and the exclusive rights to be the only one making that drug for a certain time. If you want to buy a new drug, you can only buy the brand-name version of it. After a while, the patent expires, and other companies can make their own generic versions available. At that point, most people will buy the generic, but I suppose some poor saps are so swayed by marketing that they insist on buying the brand-name drug, or believe that there's some difference between generics and brand-names drugs. I have to disagree with this answer, it may be true of some drugs, but anyone who has ever taken say, generic vs brand name xanax, or generic vs brand name vicodin, can surely attest to there being a pretty big difference between the effect of the 2 just look around the web, its well documented. generic brands are allowed a 25% margin of error for some drugs and less for others, so some generics may be the same but for some they are not.

What happens if a child eats salicylic acid?

Acetyl-salacylic acid is the generic name of "aspirin"; pharmacists (called "chemists" in the UK) have the label "ASA" instead of "aspirin", because the name "aspirin" is still trademarked in the UK. Low doses are generally not harmful, but aspirin is an excellent example of the "Goldilocks Principle" of "too little, just right, and too much". High doses of aspirin are deadly (as are high doses of nearly every over-the-counter pain killer). When taken in "childrens' doses", aspirin can help ease aches and reduce fever for sick children.
