How many mg is baby aspirin?

What’s the typical “baby aspirin” dose in mg?

“Baby aspirin” usually refers to low-dose aspirin tablets containing 81 mg of aspirin per tablet.

Are there other common “baby aspirin” tablet strengths?

How do I check the dose on the bottle?

Important safety note

Do not use “baby aspirin” (or any aspirin) for children unless a clinician specifically recommends it, since aspirin is generally avoided in viral illnesses.
