Question/Comment:
an enteric coated drug is designed to pass through the stomach unaltered and to disintegrate in the small intestines. So, enteric coated aspirin (81mg) does not worsen stomach problems and has a proven record of thinning the blood. I got this information from the site www.takerx.com

Question/Comment:
I have heard that taking 162mg of aspirin is more effective in preventing cardiac issues that 81mg. Anyone have any further comments on this.

Asprin can be hard on your stomach. Keep to the low dose, especially at your age.

Answer/Reply:
It is true that the 81mg aspirin regimen is useless to most women and doubling that amount helps more. It is also true that aspirin is unkind to the digestive tract. What you could do instead is take a garlic supplement. It does the same thing in a kinder way and is nutritionally good for your body. I also use a clove of garlic in all of my soups and casseroles.

Question/Comment:
Is it really necessary to take the 81mg. of aspirin,when you are also taking Coumadin and having the blood checked monthly? Why two blood thinners, and also Atacand, Inderal, Cardizem,? I also take Synthroid and Nexium.

My mom is also on Coumadin and Asprin, she's got pretty bad atrial fibrillation, so I guess that's why, but we don't really trust her doctor now and are planning to ask the new doctor when we go in next week!
