325 mg of aspirin by mouth

325 milligrams of Aspirin (acetasalicylic acid). This is the adult sized tablet that is usually sold. You may see it listed as 5 grains which is the same. Take one per day. Aspirin should be taken with food since it can be irritating to the stomach lining. Usually enteric coated ASA is recommended which just means the aspirin doesn't dissolve until it is past the stomach. it's your aspirin dosage.
