It sounds like your husband is taking what is called "enteric-coated aspirin). Aspirin is a great drug to prevent people from getting heart attacks by thinning out the blood so clots are less likely to form in the heart vessels. However, it can cause your stomach lining to be irritated, and in the worst case cause an ulcer or bleeding. An enteric-coated aspirin has a coating that keeps the aspirin from "burning" the stomach. However, there is still a risk of ulceration from this form of aspirin; only less likely. Also, people may have an aspirin allergy.

No. But in asthmatics it may precipitate an attack.
