Can anyone tell me if Disprin (Aspirin) is available over the counter in my local chemist and if so what should I ask for when I go to buy it?

Thanks,

Blade.

I need to bump this post pleeease because I have an annoying toothache and the crap I've been given over the counter so far (Diapen) isn't working.
There HAS to be Disprin or something!

Thanks in advance.

You can get asprin (acetylsalicylic acid) at any pharmacy.

Ask for Asprin. They may not understand your non-konglish pronunciation but they can read it if you write it (it is written in English on the box).

They usually stock the Bayer brand (500mg). It comes in a green and white box (10 tabs for 2000 won).
