Bayer AG bullshit news?

I just read this in a newsletter from my medical aid. I know this refers to Migraine but....... still sounds like a load of bollocks to me.
what is Aspirin Migraine?
------------------------------------------------------
Aspirin as good as new drugs for migraine
German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG says new studies have found that its century-old Aspirin drug is as effective in easing migraine headaches as a newer, standard therapy sold by GlaxoSmithKline. Bayer said an independent study in Spain had found that two 500mg Aspirin Migraine tablets reduced pain after two hours as effectively as 50mg of sumatriptan, the ingredient in Glaxo's Imigran. A second study found Aspirin and sumatriptan had similar effectiveness in relieving migraine symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and noise.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather take the triptans than the asprin - if it did work (but it does't). As often as some of us take Trex, if we took the 1000mg of asprin that often, we'd probably all die from stomach/liver problems.

Cathy, good idea, I only wish it was true. I have been on aspirin since my first heart attack, over a year and a half ago. I am chronic, and I have not noticed a difference since then, except I am now in the worst flare up (or if I can call it a cycle, seeing I am chronic) that I have ever been in.
One of the problems with trying to get this cycle under control is that many of the drugs that work for CH's are bad for the heart, or at least my heart.
It would be interesting to see how other heart condition people have reacted since their heart condition. If good, I still think it is a rather high price to pay to get relief!!!

Only 2 hours eh? After 2 hours, I normally do not need any type of meds.
I never...at least rarely get vomit or have sensitivity to light.
