How many 5 grains of aspirin should you take to equal 4 grams?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1 grain = 0.06479891 Grams

5 grain aspirin is 325 milligrams

roughly 15.5 Grains to a Gram

So you would need to take around 12 or 13.

Not sure why you would want to take this much aspirin. This will tear up your stomach in no time. If you really need to take this much you should look into getting some type of coated Asprin tablet and you should consult a physician.

Daily aspirin theapy should be no more the 325mg per day the size of a normal aspirin (5 grain). This is for people who have had circulatory or heart conditions. Most people should only take a baby aspirin a day (75 to 100mg). Don't take ibuprofen and aspirin they cancel each other. If you have no choice and must take Ibuprofen then you should wait at least 8 hours before taking an aspirin and/or wait at least one hour after taking an aspirin before taking a Ibuprofen. If you take any other kind of blood thinner please consult a physician before starting any kind of aspirin regemin.

Can you give a 30 pound dog an aspirin for foot pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No - dogs should never be given human pain medications (Tylenol, aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen, etc.). Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects, which can be fatal.

If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you will need to make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination. There are safe pain medications available for dogs, but you need a veterinary prescription to get them.

Is aspirin absorbed in the stomach or intestines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Aspirin is absorbed both in the stomach and the small intestine , for the former the cause lies beyond the fact that the gastric PH (1.5-2.5) is lower than the pka of aspirin (3.5) such that the ionization of aspirin is so much limited and the unionized and subsequently the lipophilicity of aspirin increases so that it's easily absorbed into the gastric mucosal cells.

for the latter , aspirin absorption is due to the large absorptive surface area of the small intestine despite the fact that the intestinal PH is higher than the pka of aspirin , but still the surface area help absorption of the unionized fraction of aspirin.

How many regular strength aspirin is a dose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually tablets of aspirin are 325 mg, and if taken for pain/fever the dose for adults 12 and up would be 1-2 tablets every four hours as needed, not to exceed 12 tablets in 24 hours. The second most popular dose for aspirin is the "low-dose" 81 mg, and if taken for cardiac protection, the dose is once daily.

Does etodolac have aspirin in it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it does not have aspirin, but it is considered an "NSAID" which means it is a close cousin of aspirin. Etodolac is a pain medication in the same family as ibuprofen (Advil). NSAIDS can have blood thinning properties, although not as much as aspirin. Therefore, you should not be taking large amounts of aspirin while using etodolac. For those people taking low dose aspirin for heart health as well as an NSAID like etodolac, it is OK to take your daily aspirin. Just make sure that you take it prior to any other NSAID (wait 30-45 minutes before taking the NSAID). This ensures that you will retain the cardioprotective properties of aspirin.

Can you take alleve hydromorphone and aspirin together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First you need to check your hydrocodone medication to see if it already contains aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid or ASA).Hydrocodone is almost always dispensed as a tablet with either a dose of ASA (aspirin) or a dose of APAP (acetaminophen) included. If your hydrocodone tablet already contains aspirin, then you don't want to take any additional aspirin. You could take a dose of acetaminophen with it, but it probably wouldn't offer any additional benefit. If your hydrocodone is compounded with APAP, then you can take aspirin with it. The hydrocodone/APAP compound manages pain and fever, while the aspirin adds the benefit of reducing inflammation somewhat.

Yes, but both can cause bleeding to take longer to stop. Don't take a higher dose of aspirin that the 81mg dose. 220 naproxen really should be enough alone.

Why don't they make liquid aspirin for adults that cant swallow a pill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alka-Seltzer Effervescent for Acid Indigestion and Pain Relief has aspirin in it. It has a lot of sodium, however, so it should not be used for a long time, nor should it be used at all by anyone who should avoid sodium. Follow directions carefully.

Walgreens sells a liquid pain reliever (labeled for children) but it may not contain aspirin. Tylenol also makes a liquid pain reliever.

Why aspirin gives voilet clr with ferric chloride?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ferric chloride, or iron(III) chloride will not react with aspirin. It will, however, react with salicylic acid, which is used to synthesize aspirin. In this light, adding an aqueous ferric chloride solution to a sample of aspirin is a good way to see if there is any unreacted salicylic acid. A purple color is an indication of salicylic acid. A sample of pure aspirin should not exhibit any color change.

What is the difference between plain aspirin tablets and enteric coated aspirin tablets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Film coat is only coating that prevents the bitter taste while taking the medicinea nd protects the tablet from microbial growth. and color change.

Enteric coat means (Enteric=Small intestine) this enteric coated tablet dissolved in only in small intestine. That means this type of coating prevents the drug release in other parts of the body. It will reacts with only small intestine fluids and get dissolved in 10mg concept. like 100mg tablet: 10mg>20mg>30mg>.......100mg complete dissolve.

Is there an expiry date for the aspirin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally drug expiration dates can be viewed the same as 'Sell By' dates; they are a reference for when the product may no longer be 100%. In the case of drugs, that implies less effective. Actual shelf life will depend on storage conditions and the ingredients. Medications that are liquid or contain active ingedients will be more prone to degradation. Aspirin will usually remain effective a long while after the expiration date likely only with increasing ineffectiveness.
