It depends on the reason for use:

As a long term anticoagulant or preventative measure for heart disease the standard dose is 81mg per day. This is a baby aspirin dose. This will vary depending on the medical professionals evaluation of the patient. And you should be evaluated first. Research during 2013-2014 showed that daily aspirin may not help all patients and can create harmful effects.

As a painkiller for adults the recommended dose is 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours which is 275-300mg. Not exceeding 3 doses per day. Do not use if you are on any other anti-coagulants such as Warfarin, or have had a stomach ulcer in the past 12 months. For people who smoke and drink, the chances of stomach bleeding, a rare side effect, is increased.

For Children, it is half that dose MAXIMUM. Do not use to treat symptoms of chicken pox as it may cause a fatal side effect called Reye's syndrome, a rare but possible side effect of Aspirin.

Pregnancy:

Aspirin should NOT TO BE USED DURING PREGNANCY AS HIS MAY CAUSE FETAL DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST TRIMESTER.

The LD50 of aspirin is estimated to be between 200-800 mg/kg in humans, meaning that this is the lethal dose that would kill 50% of the test population. It is important to note that aspirin overdose can vary in its effects depending on individual factors such as age, weight, and overall health.

What is the LD50 of methanol for a 100 gram rat?

The LD50 of methanol for rats is typically around 5628 mg/kg. To calculate the LD50 for a 100 gram rat, you would multiply the LD50 value by the weight of the rat in kilograms (100 grams = 0.1 kg) to get an estimated lethal dose.


Why does Magnesium Sulfate not have an LD50?

Magnesium sulfate does not have a specific LD50 value because it is not regarded as acutely toxic in typical exposures seen in therapeutic applications. It is commonly used as a medication, mainly for maternal eclampsia and as a supplement to correct magnesium deficiency.


What is the LD50 of pure silver?

LD50 relates to the compound/element, not to poisoning - it is the LD50 of mercury. It varies depending on route of exposure and the animal tested but it is around 1 to 15 mg/kg body-weight.


The oral ld50 value for cypermethrin is 247 mgkg compared to 5000 mgkg for hexaflumuron therefore what is the more toxic of these two pesticide?

Cypermethrin is more toxic than hexaflumuron based on the LD50 values. The lower the LD50 value, the more toxic the substance is. Therefore, cypermethrin with an LD50 of 247 mg/kg is more toxic than hexaflumuron with an LD50 of 5000 mg/kg.


What is ld50 of calcium?

The LD50 of calcium is the amount of calcium that would be lethal to 50% of the test population. The LD50 value for calcium can vary depending on the form of calcium, but generally, it is considered to be relatively high. Ingesting extremely high doses of calcium supplements can lead to toxicity symptoms like kidney stones, constipation, and heart rhythm abnormalities.
