Brother has polycythemia vera and on serial baby aspirin. developed ulcers in small intestine. can he substitute the baby aspirin with something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try flexible dosing: Consider enteric coated baby aspirin and always take with food, never on an empty stomach. You may consider taking the aspirin less frequently ie. every other day or 3 times a week.
