Aspirin is known to have more G.I side effects, but motrin has plenty as well if not mostly the same. Motrin coated or uncoated, liquid or not, leaves an awful chemical taste in my mouth. Their coated is not enteric coated. Aspirin without enteric coating also leaves an awful taste in my mouth. So enteric coated ibuprofen would help me out and also have less G.I side effects (enteric coated aspirin doesn’t REALLY reduce G.I side effects by any significant amount, at least according to most trials). I know at least a few people with ulcers who can handle 1 aspirin enteric coated though. But the risk of G.I bleeding or other issues is not any better.

Well, “tastes bad” isn’t really a medical problem. The enteric coating isn’t to change the taste, it’s to slow absorption and prevent making stomach ulcers worse. I’d presume that the liquid capsules of
Motrin would be tasteless, it’s a normal gelatin capsule containing Motrin in the liquid form. That’s probably their solution to the taste problem.
