I figured that more than 75mg would be a menace to my mucosa
(have I got mucosa? I first thought it was martian stainless
steel but here on earth I am not 100% sure now). And given with
food, crushed up (note this, Andrew, crushed or dissolved,
important that it does not go down to sit somewhere and be
concentrated for a while) not much of a risk. In other words,
this is my enteric coating substitute. On the other hand, so
little is likely not doing much. However on the third hand, not
sure I need it, I hate going to see doctors, spending money
unnecessarily, wary of any aspirin for me (though it is quite a
wonder drug in general)
Btw, don't think you need a prescription for these.
