Replies to "https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/in-depth/daily-aspirin-therapy/art-20046797 I found this awhile ago. Others on this site will have much to offer."
I had a cardiac stent and am required to take a daily low dose aspirin - they told me chewable.
Chewable is absorbed more quickly than coated, so if one is having a problem one wants it absorbed quickly,
And I therefore cannot take ibuprofen.
Quote: If you have a reason to use low-dose aspirin — such as a history of a heart attack or bypass surgery — NSAIDs cannot be used instead of aspirin to prevent heart attacks.
If you need to take ibuprofen or similar medicines, talk to your health care provider about alternatives that won't interfere with daily aspirin therapy. For example, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) may be an option. END QUOTE
Careful when you have surgery. They sometimes miss that you are taking aspirin for heart stent and say take Tylenol or Ibuprofen
Thanks! My concern is I had 2 big ulcers several years ago, my Dr blamed Advil so I have stopped that and Tylenol
