Note that Aspirin is just a brand's name, and you could find the same thing under different names in different markets.

E.g. Panadol Extra is the same thing.

Panadol Extra is paracetamol with caffeine, not acetylsalicylic acid, which is Aspirin.

Ah, my bad. So, could look for "acetylsalicylic acid + caffeine" combos from brands other than Bayer. Except if there's some special legal restriction for acetylsalicylic acid in Singapore.

Hm, now that you mention it, it's not common to see Aspirin here in the drug stores. Apparently you can buy low dosage Aspirin online but the regular dosage seems elusive. I'll ask in the pharmacy next time...
