What are Enteric-Coated Capsules?

　　An enteric coating, also known as gastroresistant coating is a barrier applied to oral medication that controls the location in the

　　digestive tract where it is absorbed.

　　Enteric coated capsules are capsules that have an acid resistant coating to prevent them from dissolving when they pass through

　　the stomach.

　　The capsules are activated only when they pass through an alkaline environment - that is with a pH factor of 5.5 or higher - which

　　is usually when they reach the small intestine.
