Enteric coating
Why enteric coating matters?
Protects actives in gastric acid and reduces irritation. L&S grades dissolve above set pH, enabling intestinal release with better stability and patient comfort.

FAQs
A few questions answered
What are the benefits of using enteric-coated granules in pharmaceuticals?
Enteric coated granules delay release until they reach the intestines, ideal for delayed release capsule technologies. This improves drug bioavailability, patient experience, and therapeutic efficiency.
Could you explain the process of applying enteric coating?
The process involves applying a polymer film coating or solution to the dosage form, ensuring durability. This allows targeted release as seen in bisacodyl enteric coated tablets and digestive enteric coated tablet applications.
How does enteric coating enable controlled drug release?
By using polymers that resist stomach acid and dissolve in alkaline intestines, enteric coating achieves gradual, controlled release in both film coated and enteric coated drugs.
What is the purpose of enteric coating in drug delivery systems?
Enteric coating provides enteric protection, prevents gastric irritation, and ensures precise release at the intended intestinal site of action for enteric coated antibiotics and other sensitive drugs.
Which polymers are commonly used for enteric coating?
Polymers such as Methacrylate Copolymers, Methacrylic Acid Copolymers, and Acrylate Copolymers are the most common, as they ensure precision in enteric coated formulation.
What is enteric coating, and why is it used for tablets and capsules?
Enteric coating is a protective layer applied to enteric coated tablets, enteric coated caplets, and enteric coated capsules to shield them from stomach acid, ensuring release in the intestines. This mechanism is crucial for enteric coated drug formulations requiring pH-sensitive dissolution.
