So uh…

Physical Description

salicylamide (225mg); acetophenetidin (160mg); caffeine (65mg); pyrilamine maleate (15mg); homatropine methylbromide (0.5mg) (drug active ingredients)

Salicylamide is apparently roughly equivalent to aspirin, but uh…

Acetophenetidin is also known as Phrnacetin…

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenacetin

… and it was:

withdrawn from medicinal use as dangerous from the 1970s (e.g., withdrawn in Canada in 1973,[2] and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1983[3]).

Whoops!

Turns out its a carcinogen or causes carcinogenesis (cancer!), hemolysis (kills, lyses, pops your blood cells)… renal papillary necrosis, aka, it fucking kills your kidneys.

Apparently, this shit killed Howard Hughes.

… yeah I could look into the other active ingredients but I think we’re done here.
