and more consistently so that it is considered more effective than regular aspirin, (whether swallowed whole or chewed and then swallowed).

BTW, there are increasing concerns in recent journal publications over the absorption of enteric-coated aspirin, so you might want to run that by your own physician. The benefits of more reliable absorption may be outweighed by other factors that had you choosing enteric-coated, to begin with, but it would be wise to check.
