Who manufactures aspirin in the US?
Aspirin is made by many pharmaceutical companies, and the exact manufacturer depends on the brand and the product label. Commonly, retailers sell aspirin under their own store brands, and those products are typically produced by established drug manufacturers under contract.
What do the ingredient/label say about who makes it?
If you look at the box or bottle, you can usually find the company listed as the “manufacturer,” “packager,” or “distributed by.” For store brands, the listed company may be the distributor/packer even if a different company manufactures the tablets.
Who makes popular aspirin brands?
Brand ownership and manufacturing can change over time due to licensing and contract manufacturing. To identify the current maker for a specific brand (for example, a specific “aspirin 325 mg” product), check the “Manufactured for” / “Distributed by” line on the package.
How to find the maker for the exact product you have
Search the label for one of these terms and use the listed company name:
- “Manufactured by”
- “Manufactured for”
- “Packaged by”
- “Distributed by”
You can then cross-check the company name on the product’s listing through the FDA’s label or drug listing resources.
If you tell me the brand, I can pinpoint it
Share the brand name (and strength, like 81 mg or 325 mg) and what the label says under “manufactured for” or “distributed by,” and I can help identify the maker for that specific aspirin.
