Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is classified as "highly soluble", meaning that the highest therapeutically used single dose (1000 mg) dissolves in 250 ml of water to its ionized form acetylsalicylate (ASA-). ASA- in solution has an increased rate of uptake versus aspirin in tablet form and poses fewer risks to the stomach (Leonards, 1963; Dressman et al, 2012).
