Talk:Enteric coating

Bad formatting
Seems the formatting is totally jacked on this article, as if someone just cut and pasted. Lame. Clean up, please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paulmer2003 (talk • contribs) 20:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC).


 * I've cut out most of it and left the most relevant parts. 68.231.151.161 22:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Wanted
It would be nice if this article talked about some specific coatings that are in use. Their chemical composition, manufacturers, etc. BillMcGonigle 20:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

total mess
Enteric refers to the small intestine? Really? I mean this article needs help... Seriously. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.160.112 (talk) 13:29, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

How do you know?
How would the consumer know if a medication is Enteric coated unless the label stated EC? I have huge pills that have to be crushed in order to swallow none of which have EC anywhere on the label. 24.30.128.50 (talk) 23:10, 2 August 2014 (UTC)Pat24.30.128.50 (talk) 23:10, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Fish Burps...
"The coating prevents the fish oil capsules from being digested in the stomach, which has been known to cause a fishy reflux (fish burps)."

FISH BURPS???? REALLY????

*Sigh*... That is just so stupid...

Someone seeked for a pharmacologist help?
Hi, I'm a pharmacologist, I recently saw that this article required attention and here I am. However, it's a pretty long shot to write it fully as there's a lot to talk about and the article itself seems just a mere skeleton. I will add critical info about the medical and chemical implications of Enteric Coated medications, but I'm not good with formatting, so if anyone wants to help cleaning up and making it more readable... well you're welcome to do that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daimyo2 (talk • contribs) 12:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Daimyo2 appears to have updated this based on his knowledge as a pharmacologist. Removing tag stating that this article requires review and revision by a pharmacologist. OvertlyArcane (talk) 21:19, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Stomach emptying time
"The time required for an enteric-coated dosage form to reach the intestine mostly depends on the presence and type of food in the stomach. It varies from 30 minutes up to 7 hours, with an average time of 6 hours.[6]" references a source from 1934! -- over 80 years old, and the range of 30 minutes to 7 hours?! seems a bit difficult to swallow (I mean, if the information is really meant to be useful and reliable). From what I recall from physiology, meals only take 3-5 hours to move through nearly the entire digestive tract; it is hard to believe that an average capsule or tablet can stay (intact?) in the stomach for 7 hours. Is there updated information with a more recent source (there must be)? Jdevola (talk) 13:48, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
