Is Micro-coated Aspirin The Same As Enteric Coated?
Is micro coated aspirin the same as enteric coated? If not, can it be used to take if you are having a heart attack & using nitroglycerin tabs? They recommend to take plain aspirin but no drug stores carry plain aspirin anymore, even our hospital pharmacy does not except for 81 mg. But 325 is needed for a heart attack.
