This phase allows for enhanced imaging of the intestines, helping to identify issues such as tumors, inflammation, or obstructions. It is often performed after the patient has consumed a contrast material to improve the clarity of the images of the enteric structures. The enteric phase is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in various gastrointestinal conditions.

What is film coating?
A thin and uniform membrane of polymer is added around the surface of a substrate. There are two types of film coats: non-enteric and enteric coating. Non-enteric coatings are water-soluble. Examples of non-enteric coating include methycellulose, PVP, PEG, HPMC, and NACMC. Enteric coatings are resistant to stomach pH yet they are more soluble in alkaline environments. They are often used for drugs which are known to be easily inactivated by stomach acid causing stomach irritation (eg. aspirin). Examples of enteric coating include cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthlate. Solvents used include water, methylene chloride + ethanol, water, acetone, methanol, or isopropanol. Plasticizers such as glycerin or propylene glycol are often added to make the film more flexible by being more resistant to mechanical strength.
Are all Erythromycin tablets enteric coated?
The brand name Flagyl, which is non-generic Metronidazole, does offer an enteric coated option. Since I have used this medication more than on one occasion to treat giardiasis, I understand the severity of nausea that normally accompanies it's use as a side effect. While not entirely mitigating these symptoms, the enteric version does reduce them to a more tolerable level and make it more likely that patients will take their medication on time and to completion. For giardiasis, the enteric version of Flagyl should be the default prescription.

Such solid material is preferably called "fumed silica".
