I've been taking Aspirin 81mg EC Low Dose Tablets for about a year now, as recommended by my doctor to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The enteric coating has indeed helped with stomach issues, but I've had some concerns about potential side effects. While the benefits seem to outweigh the risks for me, I've had friends who've had to stop taking it due to issues like stomach pain and ringing in the ears. I've also heard that it can mess with your kidneys and liver, which is a bit scary. Has anyone else had similar issues? Is it worth sticking with, or should I talk to my doctor about switching to a different medication?
