HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This medication is used to decrease the chance of heart attack and stroke but it can irritate the stomach in some persons.
It should be used with meals because protecting the stomach lining can help reduce symptoms.
If he still has symptoms though it is used with meals then he may need to use an alternative.
He would have to speak to his doctor about the changing the medication.
I hope this helps
