Key Features
-
Bulk Institutional Packaging: The 1,000-count bottle is ideal for long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and clinical environments where daily aspirin regimens are standard for many patients.
-
Low Dose (81 mg) Therapy: Specifically formulated for adults on a doctor-recommended aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of recurrent heart attack or ischemic stroke.
-
Gastric Protection: The enteric coating (safety coating) prevents the tablet from dissolving in the stomach, significantly reducing the risk of stomach upset and ulcers for those on chronic therapy.
-
Caffeine & Sodium Free: A clean formulation suitable for patients who must monitor their intake of stimulants or salt.
-
Small, Easy-to-Swallow: The tablets are significantly smaller than regular 325 mg tablets, making them easier to ingest for geriatric patients with swallowing difficulties.
