All aspirin can: It doesn't really matter the brand, Aspirin inhibits platelet "stickiness" and thus limits the size of a blood clot and extent of heart attack. It may also prevent the heart attack, a stroke or a few other blood clot problems. All Aspirin should be taken with food, and not at bedtime, because of risk of stomach ulcers. Avoid enteric coating if taking 81 mg dose, but ok at higher doses.
