The makers of the popular anti-nausea drug Gravol have come out with a new product, called Gravol Multi-Symptom, which promises to relieve headaches and fever as well as stave off nausea, all with ingredients from natural sources.

But the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada) is warning that the product might not be right for people who have told to avoid aspirin – even though the product doesn’t actually contain aspirin.

What Gravol Multi-Symptom does contain is ginger, a natural anti-nauseant, and willow bark, which has long been used as a traditional herbal remedy for headaches. Part of the reason willow bark works so well for headaches is because it contains salicin, one of a class of medicines known as “salicylates.”

Haven’t heard of salicylates?

Chances are good you’ve heard of ASA, also known as acetylsalicylic acid and also known as aspirin.

The problem is that many people cannot take ASA. Sometimes it’s because they are allergic to it. For others, it’s because they’re at risk of bleeding. Or, it might be because they already take prescription blood thinners, such as Coumadin or warfarin. For them, taking extra ASA -- a well-known and effective blood thinner -- can be risky.

If you’re not sure about whether you can take Gravol Multi-Symptom, it’s best to check with your doctor or pharmacist. And if your doctor or health professional advises you to take Gravol, be sure you understand which product to take.

Hungry Eye Trivia “Parades”

1. What does the Victoria Day holiday commemorate?

2. Why are parade floats called “floats”?

3. What (and where) is the world’s longest parade?

1. Queen Victoria’s birthday; she was born on May 24, 1819.

2. The first floats were constructed on top of barges that were pulled along canals by ropes.

3. The longest parade in the world is the Marksmen’s Parade that takes place annually in Hanover during the Schützenfest. The parade is 12 kilometres long with more than 12,000 participants from all over the world.
