Ecotrin Safety Coated Aspirin Regular Strength Tablets, 325mg, (125 count)
Product Summary
Aspirin works to prevent the platelets in your blood from clumping and clotting in your arteries, improving blood flow to your heart and brain. Aspirin is the only over-the-counter (OTC) anti-inflammatory pain reliever known to have these life-saving benefits.
The safety (or 'enteric') coating on Ecotrin aspirin prevents the aspirin from dissolving in the stomach. Instead, it is designed to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the small intestine, where most nutrients and drugs are absorbed anyway. Thus, the stomach lining is protected from irritation.
That's why Ecotrin is the aspirin regimen that's smart for your heart and stomach. Speak to your doctor before starting an aspirin regimen.
