title: Ask the doctor. Every day I take a baby aspirin (81 milligrams) that is coated to protect my stomach. Out of curiosity, I dropped a tablet into a glass filled with equal parts water and vinegar. Two days later, it hadn't dissolved. That has me wondering if the aspirin inside the coating gets into my stomach and bloodstream, or whether I've been unprotected against heart disease all this time?
