How many mg is a baby aspirin?

What is the mg dose in baby aspirin?

“Baby aspirin” usually refers to low-dose aspirin tablets sold for everyday use, most commonly 81 mg per tablet. [1]

Are all “baby aspirin” products the same strength?

No. While 81 mg is the most common “baby aspirin” dose, some products marketed similarly may contain different amounts (depending on the brand and country). Checking the label for “mg (milligrams) per tablet” is the only reliable way to confirm.

How does it compare with regular aspirin?

Regular “adult” aspirin products are often 325 mg per tablet, so baby aspirin (commonly 81 mg) is a lower dose.

Where to verify on the bottle?

Look for the line that says something like “Aspirin 81 mg” (or another mg amount) under “Drug Facts” on the package label.
