Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Why should I talk to my doctor before starting an aspirin regimen?
- An aspirin regimen is a serious medical therapy. Your doctor needs to assess your personal health history and risk factors to determine if the life-saving benefits of aspirin outweigh the potential risks, such as stomach bleeding.
- What does “safety coated” mean?
- The safety coating (also known as an enteric coating) is a special layer on the tablet that allows it to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the small intestine. This helps to protect your stomach from potential irritation.
- Is this the same as regular strength aspirin?
- No. This is a “low dose” aspirin, containing 81mg of aspirin per tablet. Regular strength aspirin typically contains 325mg. The 81mg dose is the one most commonly recommended by physicians for a daily heart health regimen.
