Best Answer

Penicillin is the name of the fungus from which the various forms of the drug is derived and is not capitalised.

Aspirin is the brand name for acetylsalicylic acid (the active ingredient which was originally isolated from willow bark (well known for its analgesic effect), but is usually synthesized now); in those countries where it has been registered as a trademark it should be capitalised.
