Disease description:

Since my doctor said I am at risk of myocardial infarction, he prescribed me enteric-coated aspirin (Bayer Aspirin) for prevention. Could you please advise the optimal time of day to take this medication?

Hello, the main ingredient of enteric-coated aspirin tablets is aspirin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can irritate the stomach. Therefore, it is formulated as an enteric-coated preparation. Enteric-coated tablets should be taken on an empty stomach—30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal—to allow the drug to pass rapidly through the stomach and reach the intestines, thereby minimizing gastric irritation. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
