Enteric Coating - L Series
Purpose: Protects the drug from being released in the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring it is released in the more neutral pH of the intestines.
Applications:
Ideal for drugs that can be irritating to the stomach or are unstable in acidic conditions.
Mechanism:
The methacrylic acid copolymer dissolves at a higher pH (around 7), allowing the drug to pass through the stomach and be released in the intestines.
