    Sinus medication is often with the person who needs it. The company decides that it would be better to put it in a blister pack like gum, so when the user desires the drug he can just pop it out.

    Aspirin tends to be found almost everywhere in buildings and homes. Not many people carry around a bottle of aspirin, because if they are experiancing pain they can just go obtain some from the nearest place.

    • I know many people, including myself, that carry sinus medication with them, and it can be bought almost anywhere as well.

    • ASA is rarely made freely available in the workplace because of legal liability.
