View full FDA label ↗Aspirin Chewable is a medication used to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains, and it should be taken as your doctor recommends. It works by blocking certain substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. For adults and children aged 12 and over, the starting dose is 4 to 8 chewable tablets every 4 hours, but you should not take more than 48 tablets in a day unless your doctor tells you to. One important warning is that children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should not use this medication due to the risk of a serious condition called Reye's syndrome. Additionally, if you are taking blood thinners, you should consult your doctor before using it, as this can increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
