Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'buffered' describes a chemical treatment that reduces acidity, so 'buffered aspirin' straightforwardly means aspirin formulated to be less irritating to the stomach. This is non-idiomatic and follows a common modifier+noun pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Buffered aspirin is simple aspirin that is coated or mixed so the buffered part makes stomach acid less strong and protects the stomach. So it means a kind of aspirin that is gentler and helps 'reduce stomach upset'.
