Aspirin

The problem is "aspirin" is a brand name (of Bayer) in Germany, so it is more expensive. It was the same when I lived in Canada many years ago. You learned to ask for "ASA" (acetylsalicylic acid). There probably is a similar term in German, but I don't know it. As an aside, "Heroin" was once also a Bayer trademark (and may still be in Germany, for all I know).
