Based on the information available, it is not accurate to say that enteric coated aspirin can fully prevent stomach issues. While enteric coating can reduce the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers compared to regular aspirin [1], it does not eliminate the risk entirely.

Enteric coating is a delayed-release mechanism that is designed to allow the aspirin to pass through the stomach without dissolving and be absorbed in the intestines instead [2]. This can help reduce the direct contact of aspirin with the stomach lining, thereby minimizing the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers.

However, it is important to note that enteric coated aspirin can still cause stomach issues in some individuals, especially if taken in high doses or over an extended period [3]. Additionally, certain factors such as age, existing health conditions, and the use of other medications can increase the risk of stomach issues even with enteric coated aspirin [4].

Therefore, while enteric coated aspirin can help reduce the risk of stomach issues, it is not a guarantee of full prevention. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication, including aspirin, and to follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions carefully.
