I want to take aspirin (kirkland brand) 81mg. How many pills do i have to take?

Question

It says adults,12 years and over 4-8 tablets every 4 hours. But I just want to take them once. I think 4 are too much!! If I take 2.. is that ok? Thank you very much..

Answer 1

Those are "baby" aspirins used for people over 50 years old. They are used for thinning the blood to help stop heart attacks.

They are too weak to treat pain.

Answer 2

For which condition are you taking aspirin? As a blood thinner? Or for fever, pains etc.? And are you taking the tablets for many days or for a short period? Is the tablet a time release or slow release one or is it normal? Remember, Aspirin can cause bleeding in the stomach. If you are not sure what for you are taking aspirin, minimal dose, with food in the stomach will be better and the best is to talk to your health professional.

Answer 3

The first question is , Can you take aspirin?
some people can not tolerate aspirin and react to it. If you can, you should know that 81 mg is a children dose aspirin. Adult aspirin are 320mg each.. Adult should be able to that two adult aspirins. To be sure , call your pharmacy or check with your doctor.

Answer 4

These are children's aspirin and one is for a small child or for an adult to prevent strokes and heart attacks. An adult dose is usually ten grains q 4 hours.

Answer 5

If u r taking the aspirin to help prevent heart attacks, that is the recommended daily dose.....81 mg.

Answer 6

Three 81mg tabs are equal to about one regular aspirin.

Answer 7

THE REGULAR ASPIRIN(BY BAYER OR SMTH) IS 325MG. IF THE ONE YOU ARE USING IS 81, SO YOU SHOULD TAKE AT LEAST 4(4*81=324MG) AND IT WILL EQUAL 1 REGULAR ASPIRIN!
