A pharmaceutical preparation containing aspirin combined with other active ingredients for enhanced therapeutic effect.
From 'dia-' (through, combining) + 'aspirin' (the pain reliever). Appears in pharmaceutical nomenclature from the early 1900s for combination medications.
Diaspirin represents the old pharmaceutical practice of combining drugs together—nowadays we know it's risky, but a century ago 'more ingredients' meant 'more healing power'!
