Plain Bayer and St. Joseph aspirins dissolve in
the stomach, where aspirin can cause irritation and, in some instances,
ulcers or bleeding. Safety-coated Ecotrin tablets pass through the stomach and
dissolve safely and effectively in the small intestine.

Always safety-coated Ecotrin
is designed to dissolve safely in the small intestine so that it offers maximum
stomach protection while ensuring maximum aspirin absorption. Most of
the absorption of nutrients and drugs into the bloodstream normally
takes place in the small intestine, not the stomach.
