Best Answer

The tablets taste pretty foul without the tasty coating, we have a hard time swallowing foul tasting things. The sugar coat helps mask it and tricks us into swallowing the pill easier.

Do heart pills have I-2 on them?

No... I-2 is an acronym --- the " I " stands for the type of medication, in this case, it is Ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory / pain reducer) --- the " 2 " stands for the milligram dosage per tablet, in this case, it is 200 mg. So, if you find a tablet (usually orange in color for coated tablets and white for non-coated tablets) that says " I-2 " on it, you can be sure it is a 200mg tablet of Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is not used in heart treatment regiments, as it contains no aspirin.
