Originally launched in 1902, the trusted St. Joseph? 81 mg. aspirin brand, fondly remembered by millions of "baby boomers" as the medicine mom used to give for aches and pains, was re?launched in America in 2012. Historians speculate that the St. Joseph? name relates to St. Joseph, Missouri, where Leopold Gerstle had business dealings after emigrating from Bavaria in 1865; others contend the brand was named after the patron saint of families, children and the sick. Regardless of the origin of the name, the familiar pleasant?tasting orange tablets were re?launched for adults as part of a doctor?recommended treatment regimen to help reduce the risk for heart attack or stroke. Today the 81 mg. aspirin is available in a variety of forms including chewable aspirin pain relief tablets; safety coated aspirin pain reliever tablets; enteric coasted aspirin tablets; orange flavor rapid dissolve low dose aspirin melts and more.
