Benefits of Taking Low Dose Aspirin

–

Cartia low dose coated aspirin can help prevent blood clotting, and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. The benefit of low dose aspirin is that it helps reduce blood stickiness, and the tendency of blood to clot.

Unlike uncoated aspirin, Cartia has a Duentric coating. This prevents the aspirin from being released in the stomach: protecting the stomach by reducing the change of gastric irritation. Cartia is released lower down in the intestines, where it is absorbed gradually in the blood stream.
