with long term use and combined with the acid in your stomach, can cause gastric bleeding and eat a hole right through your stomach...even just one a day.

I didn't realize that one a day would do that! Maybe I will go back to the enteric coated ones. I'll take two of the 81mg tabs a day. I finally annoyed my doc to the point where he agreed I could go off the Warfarin if I took the aspirin.

It's ok to take the 81mg enteric coated...but were you told to take a "regular strength" aspirin? If so, you will need to take "four" (4) 81mg "baby aspirins" to equal one 325mg regular adult aspirin.

I hope I don't sound too bossy!! I love doing patient teaching as a nurse and can't hardly stop myself! LOL

My doctor says no adult needs more than a single 81mg aspirin a day to get all the benefits. Coated is best, of course.
