Enteric coating is aimed to prevent the formulations from gastric fluid in the stomach and release the drug component in the intestinal region or once it has passed into the duodenum. DHARACOAT L 100, DHARACOAT L30D-55, DHARACOAT L100-55, DHARACOAT S 100 & DHARACOAT MAE 100P polymers protect active from the gastric fluid and improve drug effectiveness. They are designed to be resistant to stomach acid, and will not get dissolved until the tablet reaches the small intestine. In brief, enteric formulation means acid resistance products. These polymers are pH dependant.
