Depends: Depends on a number of factors, such as The dose of aspirin, the specific speed of metabolism and genetics of the patient, and other things such as food in the stomach and gut, etc. Generally speaking however, within about 30-60 minutes one should begin to feel the effects of an analgesic such as aspirin. An appropriate one-time dose would be 650-1000 mg, or 325-500mg if repeated.
