Bayer Women's Aspirin With Calcium (aspirin) "It's the only aspirin product I can tolerate. All others, even "coated" low dose aspirin cause GI upset. It's also significantly more expensive. For some reason lately I have been having difficulty finding this product. That said, I'm glad I found an aspirin product that does not cause GI upset (I take it for stroke prevention which is very rampant in my family)."

"The aspirin may be beneficial to my heart condition but the side effects are unbearable. I was already on warfarin with no side effects. Combined with the aspirin my dose of warfarin was reduced. Since adding the aspirin my periods have become so long and heavy and I can't leave the house for 2 weeks at a time unless I have access to a bathroom every hour. Besides waking up every hour during the night to change protection, I'm exhausted and weak from the blood loss. I take 2 iron supplements a day to keep afloat. Probably a very easy-to-use drug for anyone without a working uterus."
