Bayer Aspirina C

Aspirin is one of the most iconic pharmaceutical brands in history, originally synthesized in 1897 by Felix Hoffmann while working for the German chemical and pharmaceutical giant Bayer. The product in the image, Aspirina C, specifically contains acetylsalicylic acid with added Vitamin C, designed for the treatment of pain, fever, and flu-like symptoms.

The brand remains a flagship product for Bayer AG, headquartered in Leverkusen, Germany. While the original chemical development happened in Germany, the production of Aspirin is now a global operation. For the European market, particularly Italy (as evidenced by the Italian packaging), manufacturing frequently takes place at Bayer's specialized facilities in Germany or Spain. Bayer continues to be the ultimate owner and global steward of the brand name in most countries worldwide.
