aspirin analgesic dose adults official drug label

For analgesia in adults, aspirin is usually given as 325-1000 mg orally every 4-6 hours as needed.
  • Maximum commonly stated OTC limit: 4 g/day unless specifically directed by a clinician.
  • Low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg/day, such as 81 mg) is mainly antiplatelet therapy, not the usual analgesic dose.
  • Avoid aspirin in children or teenagers with viral illness because of the risk of Reye syndrome.
Goodman & Gilman lists the adult analgesic-antipyretic range as 325-1000 mg every 4-6 hours.
