Aspirin is "acetylsalicylic acid". Changing the chemical, changes the action. What is commonly done, is to coat the aspirin with a compound that does not let the aspirin dissolve in the stomach. This is called an "enteric coating". This helps a lot with stomach upset from taking regular aspirin.

Can taking willow bark cause internal bleeding?
Yes. Assuming you're taking it orally. One of the constituents of willow bark is Acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as Aspirin. One of the dangerous side effects when taking aspirin and other NSAID's on a regular basis is the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This bleeding can occur either through direct irritation of the gastric mucosa, or more commonly through action of the drug reducing your gut's ability to produce mucus. If you suspect internal bleeding, immediately discontinue the use of the willow bark and contact an MD/DO as soon as possible. Drugs such as Aspirin may decrease your ability to stop bleeding.
