A member asked:

What is the difference in 81 enteric coated aspirin and 81 non enteric coated...is their any interference with other meds if enteric coated?

Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

See below: Enteric coated just means the pill is coated with a material to prevent it from dissolving in the stomach. This avoids stomach upset in some patients. Interference with other medicines is not an issue either way.

I have been on Plavix since my first stent, in 2004. I had four more stents. Could having five stents account for why my cardiologist keeps me on Plavix? I also take 81mg enteric coated aspirin daily. Is this too long/too much? Nosebleeds in the past
