Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I don't want to risk taking buffered aspirin because it contains aluminium and my mother has alzheimers and their may be a connection. Could I take vitamins C and E instead as they are anit-inflammatory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 A possible problem with buffered aspirin is the minerals that are used to control the acidity. The problem with coated enteric aspirin is that it doesn't always dissolve completely and you don't get the proper dosage.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Do you have references to this statement???? I take Enteric Coated Aspirin and I've never read this before. I take the name brand Ecotrin. Thanks, Noreen <<The problem with coated enteric aspirin is that it doesn't always dissolve completely and you don't get the proper dosage.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 To be honest, I don't know if I could find the reference; I just recall having read it recently, and noted it because I usually take coated aspirin as well. Google and a whole lot of time might be able to find it. Linden RE: Vits C & E Do you have references to this statement???? I take Enteric Coated Aspirin and I've never read this before.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I don't recall where I read it, but what I have been doing is letting the aspirin melt under my tongue rather than swallowing it, because I have had esophageal ulcers. I cut the coated aspirin in half so it does dissolve. Linden RE: Vits C & E Do you have references to this statement???? I take Enteric Coated Aspirin and I've never read this before.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Why not just take regular aspirin that will dissolve instead of going through all that?????

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Ummm....on a quick search with Google, the only problems I read about were the possibility of taking too many, since the pain relieving is not quick like in regular aspirin. It takes a while for the pill to get to the intestines and then to dissolve. Also there was a problem in animals because they have different types of acids in their stomachs and intestines, therefore not always dissolving at the same rate, and it is not recommended for animals (dogs or cats). So far nothing on what you read....... Noreen RE: Vits C & E Do you have references to this statement???? I take Enteric Coated Aspirin and I've never read this before. I take the name brand Ecotrin.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Partly because I have a bunch of coated aspirin that I got after the ulcer experience. I do use regular aspiriin under the tongue, because 1) it gets into the bloodstream faster, and 2) it doesn't get into the stomach. Linden RE: Vits C & E Do you have references to this statement????
