Aspirin enteric-coated tablets are not the same as aspirin.
Although the main ingredients of aspirin and aspirin enteric-coated tablets are the same, the parts of the drug that disintegrate after entering the digestive system are different.
The regular dosage form of aspirin will be disintegrated and absorbed in the stomach, and at the same time, it may cause some damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to the patient’s adverse reactions to the digestive system.
Aspirin enteric-coated tablets, on the other hand, are processed and wrapped with a layer of antacid in the outer layer, so they can be well preserved in the stomach and begin to dissolve only after entering the intestines. This prevents the drug from irritating the gastric mucosa and alleviates symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and abdominal pain that may occur after the patient has taken the drug.
It is recommended that patients use the medication under the guidance of a doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and do not use the medication privately resulting in the occurrence of uncomfortable symptoms.
