The Advil coating is NOT enteric coated. Enteric coating is used on certain medications, most notably NSAIDS (naproxen, acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin) so the release of the contents does not occur until it has reached your small intestine and thus reduces the stomach pains associated with NSAIDS.

The Advil coating makes them easier to swallow and taste better, but it is not a formal enteric coating. If it was, trust in the fact marketing would highlight this and claim Advil has an advantage over other ibuprofen based products.
