Enteric coated versus plain aspirin

I am taking Asprin Gastro-Resistant tablets along with 10 mg Atorvastatin , so Is above gastro resistant as I am not sure helping for gas prevention so my question is we should take above or plain aspirin ? I have not asked my doctor but asking here so one can share their experience too

Enteric coated Aspirin (In US) or Gastric resistant aspirin (India) “supposedly” lowers risk of gastric irritation from aspirin, compared to aspirin without such coating. More recent trials show that BOTH have relatively similar side effect profiles and also probably work equally well! So either one is fine!
