A member asked:
Does one 300 milligram pill of aspirin contain one aspirin molecule that does all the healing work or are there millions of molecules in this one pill?

1 X 10E21: There are millions of millions of millions of molecules in 300 mg of aspirin. In fact the number of molecules is very close to... 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 molecules based on a molecular weight of 180 grams/mole. That is a very large number.

Milligrams: The dosage has nothing to do with the number of molecules. It is a measurement of the amount of medicine in that pill.
