Abstract

Abstract 1.1. Investigations of enteric-coated drugs have shown that some with coatings which claim to "protect the tablet from gastric secretions" fail as well to disintegrate in any other part of the gastrointestinal tract. 2.2. Other preparations disintegrate in the stomach, and in these instances the enteric coating is of no particular value. 3.3. Clinically, all enteric-coated drugs when administered should be carefully watched for therapeutic effect.
