Acetylsalicyclic acid is Aspirin. In the U.S., aspirin is a generic name because the Bayer corporation lost their trademark. Aspirin does not help with stomach cramps; in fact, it can cause stomach discomfort. It does not help menstrual cramps.

Yes, that is indeed aspirin. Abbreviated ASA. No, it is not generally used for stomach cramps, unless menstrual.
