View full FDA label ↗Aspirin 81mg is a low-strength medication used to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains, but it won't provide quick relief for headaches or other urgent symptoms. It works by reducing inflammation and pain in the body. Adults and children aged 12 and older can take 4 to 8 tablets every 4 hours, but should not exceed 48 tablets in a day unless directed by a doctor. A key warning to remember is that aspirin can cause severe stomach bleeding, especially if you are over 60, have a history of stomach problems, or are taking blood-thinning medications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before using this medication.
