CARTIA low dose aspirin has a DUENTRIC coating that is gentle on the stomach*
*CARTIA low dose aspirin has a DUENTRIC coating which is designed to protect the stomach from the irritation that can be caused by the aspirin.
The enteric coating on CARTIA tablets prevents the aspirin from being released in your stomach where it could cause gastric upsets. The aspirin is released lower down in the intestines, where it is absorbed gradually in the blood stream.
Low dose aspirin helps reduce blood stickiness, the tendency of blood to clot.
