I'm not sure, but i think not b/c Motrin and aspirin are not to be taken simultaneously
one reason for this is Motrin makes aspirin less effective
No. Motrin does not contain aspirin. Motrin contains the active ingredient ibuprofen.
It is important to remember, though, that Motrin (ibuprofen) and aspirin are both in the same category of medication; they are both "NSAIDs," or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and therefore may not be suggested to be taken at the same time.

When I was first diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome I was in a bit of pain. It feels like arthritic pain.

What can affect purity of aspirin?
Firstly place 100 to 150 mg of aspirin into a 125 ml conical flask. Next proceed to mix in 15 ml of 95% ethanol solution and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Then use the titration method to mix this solution against a standard solution of sodium hydroxide from a burette. Using the value obtained from the titration calculate the molarity of the aspirin. Then calculate the ratio of the observed molarity of aspirin with its theoretical molarity and finally multiply this ratio with 100 to obtain the percentage purity of the aspirin sample.

What is the solubility of aspirin?
My dad used to put an aspirin in a spoon with water and let it dissolve before I would ingest it.
The best way to dissolve aspirin is in a mortar and pestle. And then dissolve the powder in a glass of water before you drink it. The next best way is to chew it up real good in your mouth with your teeth, and then take a gulp of water and slosh it around in your mouth to dissolve the powdered aspirin. And then, swallow it all down with a full glass of water.

What happens when you overdose on aspirin?
With the recent death of Christopher Kelly (51) of an apparent Aspirin Overdose, we are reminded that the lowly Aspirin, if used improperly can lead to death. The details surrounding the death of one of the key players of the former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's legal woes are still sketchy, but according to Law Enforcement, Aspirin overdose is the apparent cause of death.
First prepared in 1853 by the French chemist Charles Frederic Gerhardt, and in1899 marketed around the world by Bayer, aspirin remained very popular until the introduction of acetaminophen (Tylonol) in 1956 and Ibuprofen in 1969. Today aspirin's uses include being used as a preventative treatment for heart attacks and strokes.
It is still very popular and can be found in most medicine cabinets in either in its own form, or as an ingredient in such products as Alka Seltzer, Ecotrin, and Excedrin. It is also found in prescription drugs such as Percodan.
Aspirin overdose comes in two forms, Acute, and Chronic. In an acute overdose, someone has intentionally, or accidently taken a very large dose. Symptoms of acute Aspirin overdose include nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting. About 2% of the people that suffer an acute aspirin overdose die.
In a chronic overdose, a daily dose of aspirin has built up in the body over time and has lead to the overdose. The chronic overdose is generally seen in people whose kidneys are not working correctly, or are dehydrated. Chronic overdoses may include fatigue, fever, confusion, collapse, rapid heart beat, uncontrollable rapid breathing. About 25% of the people that suffer a chronic aspirin overdose die.
A large overdose can cause ringing in the ears, temporary deafness, hyperactivity, dizziness, drowsiness, seizures, and coma.
The cause of death in most cases of Aspirin overdose is noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, a condition where fluids build up in the lungs.
Can i take amox-clav with aspirin?
According to the website drugs.com (see the Related Link below) there is no known interaction between amoxicillin and low-strength aspirin (over-the-counter aspirin like Bayer). But their website also says, "However, this does not necessarily mean that no interactions exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist." Whatever the hell that means, I don't know (I mean, seriously, which is it, then)? See the Related Link below.
What they seem to be saying is, "No, there's no interaction for most people, but if you should happen to have one and end up dead, you can't sue us for telling you there's not."
