Enteric coating prevents an irritating drug from causing a(n):
A) idiosyncratic reaction
B) ulcer of the stomach
C) burning of the skin
D) bitter flavor
B) ulcer of the stomach
Enteric coating helps to keep an irritating drug from causing a stomach ulcer. Idiosyncratic reactions may be caused by all types of drugs. Enteric coating is intended to protect the GI tract from a drug's possibly irritating effects, so topical drugs would not need enteric coating. There is little to no flavoring of enteric-coated drugs.
