I don't know the answer. What I would do is buy the enteric coated

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just want to add, for the sake of anyone looking to take aspirin, a reminder

to please

read the label for " inactive ingredients. " Most of the aspirin brands in our

grocery store

contained at least one undesirable: FD&C Yellow #5, and other yucky colorings

(blue

aluminum lake?). Some of the brands also had such terrible " inactive

ingredients " as

Propylene Glycol, and other undesirables. The one brand I found without those

was Bayer.
